If the PU had not had his hand in the air killing all play. Now it is a live ball - pick-off attempts may be made.
In this situation, the proper call would be balk for beginning his motion and then stopping. Correct?
In OBR it is incumbent upon the pitcher to only pitch when the batter is prepared (8.05f: Penalty is balk)). I don't see a similar rule in FED. Perhaps in FED you just call time and wait for everyone to regroup?
OBR 8.05f

(f) The pitcher delivers the ball to the batter while he is not facing the batter;
