R1, pitcher comes to what I call an open set. Ex. RH Pitcher from the stretch comes up to the set position with his non pivot foot(free foot) open toward 1B. Balk or no balk?

Looks like a case of poor coaching to me, thumpferee.
When a pitcher stands like that the delivery takes more time (to assist the runner) and the pitch loses speed (to assist the batter).
