Yes, he did step back with his pivot foot first which the coach said makes him an infielder.
I misread that part. which could make a big difference.
so F1 steps back with his pivot foot and then proceeds to act like he's pitching. He lifts his non pivot, like a pitch and wheels to third to pick off R3. (Actually I thought he was going to pitch the ball it looked like as PU)
It's a balk if the pitcher makes any motion naturally associated with his pitch while he is not touching the pitcher's plate. Without being there to see it, it sounds like a balk.
