Baseball Balk Rule

678 views

Last night Reds v. D’backs ends in a balk. The pitcher didn’t look as of he did anything special. I looked up videos and articles and I still do not understand what is a balk.
What is a balk? When is it not a balk?

It seems like the rule should only apply, and the runners given the next base if the pitche actually throws to a base following a false move. This would protect the runners from getting caught in the middle, while not severely punishing the pitcher with losing the game for a fairly minor mistake. Thoughts?
