To step off the rubber for a pickoff, the pitcher must first come to a complete stop while on the pitching rubber. Then, they should step backward with their pivot foot (the foot closest to the base) while maintaining contact with the rubber until their foot is off the rubber. Once the pivot foot has stepped off, the pitcher can quickly turn and throw to the base in an attempt to pick off the baserunner. It's essential to ensure the action is smooth and quick to prevent the runner from advancing.

Does the pitcher have to throw the ball to a base on a pickoff move?

Absolutely NOT. The pitcher does NOT have to disengage the rubber to attempt a throw to a base. There's a huge debate over this, but anyone who tells you that a pitcher has to step off before throwing to a base hasn't read their rulebook very carefully.


Does pitchers back foot have to break contact with rubber for him to throw to first?

No. Remember there are left handed pitchers and right handed pitchers. Almost every umpire will declare a right handed pitcher to have balked if his foot doesn't disengage from the rubber when he throws to first. A left handed pitcher simply steps and throws to first. His back foot usually never disengages from the rubber. To over simplify - a pitcher is called for a balk when the umpire judges the pitcher to have deceived the runner in some way. So, anytime a baulk is called, an umpire made a judgement call.

How does a flowmeter pickoff coil work?

A flowmeter pickoff coil works by detecting the magnetic field generated by a flowing conductive fluid, typically in electromagnetic flowmeters. As the fluid moves through a magnetic field created by the flowmeter, it induces a voltage in the pickoff coil according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. This induced voltage is proportional to the flow velocity of the fluid, allowing the flowmeter to calculate the flow rate. The signal from the pickoff coil is then processed and converted into a readable flow measurement.
