Respectfully and humbly , I disagree

As F1 passes the occupied first base he has deceived that runner in his continuation.

This would be a balk to First Base and runners would advance.

The only legal way for F1 to go to second would be by turning to the third base side or step off the pitcher's plate.

Think about this clearly.

F1 must pass a direct line to first base to make this throw.

If he does not step off it is a balk.

IMHO
