Dave,

You have the right ruling (BALK) and partially identified the key (simulating a pitch). However, that last sentence is totally wrong.

The pitcher disengaged LEGALLY with pivot foot (right foot for right hand pitcher).

Therefore, this is ruled a balk because the pitcher simulated a pitch while NOT IN CONTACT with the pitcher's plate (NF rule 6-2-5).
