In baseball, while there is no specific term for "technical foul," there are a variety of violations or rule violations that often result in penalties or penalties. Here are the common violations and the rules:
Definition: A pitcher who makes a deceptive or non-compliant action (e.g., fake throw, abrupt abort) when there is a runner on base.
Common Actions:
Pitching when not completely stationary.
Feint to contain the runner on the base but not complete the pass.
The pitch is not facing the batter.
Penalty Decision: All runners automatically advance one base.
Basturt Violations:

Deliberately delaying play (e.g., repeatedly exiting the batting area).
Penalties: The referee may award a good ball or a warning, and in serious cases, eject the ball.
Running off the baseline:
The runner deviates more than 0.9 m (3 ft) from the baseline to avoid touch.
Early Departure:
Leave base early before hitting the ball (e.g., run the base before the high fly ball is not received).
Reverse run:
Deliberately disrupting the defense by running the bases in reverse.
Penalty Draw: The runner is out.
Bat Violations:
Use of illegal materials (e.g., metal rods instead of wooden rods) or bats that exceed the standard length/diameter.
The surface of the bat is coated with a reflective material.
Handling with Balls:

Penalties: The offending player may be ejected, and the opponent will be awarded a score if the result of the match is affected.

Fake Tag:

Penalties: The runner makes it safe to run the base or the penalty is invalid.
Deliberate procrastination:

The batter repeatedly adjusts the equipment to delay time.
Penalty Decision: The referee may award a bad ball, a good ball or a direct ejection.
Substitution overrun:
Illegal use of unregistered substitutes.
Substitutions not reported:

Sanction: The player or coach involved is warned or expelled.
Penalty level

The rules are based on MLB (Major League Baseball) and World Baseball Association (WBSC) standards, and the specific penalties may vary slightly depending on the league level. It is advisable to refer to the final decision of the referee on duty at the match.
