Sure its a balk, but then what?
Yes, you've got a balk, but it's the word "immediately" that is key.
Was this a continuous motion so that you would wait for the play to end before enforcing the balk, or was there a definite stop after the balk and before the throw so we could rule the play dead at the time of the balk? (Pitcher doesn't throw, kill play.)
Hard to guess without seeing it. If there was enough time to yell balk, and then "Time" before the throw, I'd kill the play believing the pitcher responded to my yell of balk. Runner to second.
If not, then I've got continous action and the ball is alive .
Timing is everything.
