Pitcher in the set position however pivot foot is behind the rubber. Pitcher throws to first without stepping. Balk or no balk? Pitcher never toed the rubber.

FED rule 6-1-3

After F1 has placed his pivot foot on the ground clearly behind the plate, he then has the right to throw or feint to a base the same as that of any other infielder.

OBR equivalent 8.01(e)

Therefore, in your thread we do not have a Balk.
