I'm not doubting a pro umpire...
Closest rule I can find is 8.02(c)
"Intentionally delay the game by throwing the ball to players other than the catcher, when the batter is in position, except in an attempt to retire a runner. PENALTY: If, after warning by the umpire, such delaying action is repeated, the pitcher shall be removed from the game."
However this isn't a balk, just a warning... but according to the ask a pro question this has been called in the major leagues...
