Yes, the penalties for a team defensive balk differ among Major League Baseball, College Baseball, and high school Baseball rules. In Major League Baseball, a balk is called when a pitcher violates specific rules, resulting in all base runners advancing one base. In college baseball, the penalty is similar, but the interpretation of what constitutes a balk may vary slightly. High school rules also penalize a balk with base runners advancing, but the enforcement and specific definitions can differ from both Major League and college rules.
