Well Hold Runner means the first baseman is staying very close to the bag. The advantage of this is that it's easier to pick off the runner. Disadvatage is there is now a bigger gap between first baseman and second baseman.

As far as balks, I've played out about 20 games and have seen one balk. Doubt that's a big enough sample, but my vote would be "about right"
