If he is merely straddling the rubber with hand in glove, then that is nothing and he is free to throw or feint as he wishes. However, if while not in contact with the rubber he does his normal stretching motion, that would be a balk for simulating a motion associated with his pitch. Balk that regardless of whether a throw or feint occurs.
Just my opinion,
