The reason for this is that the pitcher must throw 4 balls in order for it to be a walk.
Mark Buehrle is currently the last pitcher to throw a no hit game for the White Sox. He threw a perfect game for the Sox on July 23, 2009 and a no hitter prior to that on April 18, 2007.
Th pitcher has 27 seconds to throw the ball after he comes set. Failure to do so will result in a balk.
No, he could throw to home plate!
yes
There is only one call for a balk. When a pitcher is in the stretch and a runner or runners are on base, the pitcher must pause before throwing to homeplate. There can also be a balk called on the pitcher if he makes a move to throw out someone at first base, but doesn't actually throw the ball. (No fake throws to first allowed!) The last reason for a balk to be called is if a pitcher begins to move his front leg towards homeplate, but does not throw the ball to home. (Or simply pitch to the batter). A balk results in baserunners advancing one base.
