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?

There are many ways to commit a balk.
I went back to watch the video from last night to find out what happened here, and to me it looks like it was hand movement when he was trying to come set. When you come set, you have to keep your hands together (throwing hand holding the ball inside your glove. The pitcher flinched his hands during that process instead of just coming set and that’s a balk.
