If your quoting the N.A.P.B.L., then you probably are familiar with the OBR 8.05, which lists what are considered balks.
A pitcher could, while not touching rubber, make a motion associated with his delivery. He could fail to step directly toward a base, feint a throw, drop the ball, or perhaps even have fielder not make an appeal and throw the ball back to him, all while touching the rubber. These would all be balks.

It is not a balk if the pitcher throws to an unoccupied base from the rubber, for the purpose of making an appeal.N.A.P.B.L. 6.6 .
I understand it is a balk if he makes a motion associated with the start of a pitch prior to doing this.
how can he commits balk doing something else, to first or any other base is my quest.
