A balk is an illegal move done by the pitcher immediatly before windup or during the pitching act. Most of these illegal moves involve a pitcher pretending to pitch when he has no intention of doing so, this would be done to try and trick a baserunner into leaving the base and becoming an easy out. Balks are only called when there are runners on base, when a pitcher has been assesed a balk all baserunners are awarded the next base, this includes runners on third who would then score a run since he was awareded home plate.
