this came up in a recent slo-pitch league game, bases loaded and after the batter stepped into the batters box, the pitcher had a brain fart and told the umpire to walk him, he thought 1st base was open. The batter starts down the 1st base line and then the pitcher realized that he had bases loaded and tried to rescind the walk. Is the pitcher able to do that if the B/R hadn't reached 1st base yet?
2nd part.. what if the batter never actually made it into the batters box when the pitcher said walk him, would that make a difference in the call
