I disagree. Doesn't a LH pitcher also go past that "direct line to first" when he throws to second? That's not a balk, and there aren't any differences in the rules for RH and LH pitchers.

As long as it was a "smooth" turn to second, with no "feint" to first along the way, I think it's a legal play.
