No, it is not a balk, it is just not supposed to be done.
It's another one of those baseball myths.

It's not a myth, it's a mis-application of a rule. In FED it is a balk (FED 6-1-1 PENALTY @end of ART3)

Sure its in the FED book, but how many times have you called a ball on the batter for an illegal pitch with no runners on.
If you have then that would be the first I've seen.
We choose to ignore this since there is nothing gained, making application as in OBR etc.,
I don't have my books with me, but would like to see how FED has interpreted this.
Thanks
