R1 with F3 standing away from the bag (10'-15'). If the pitcher throws, can he throw directly to F3, or does he have to throw to the bag? Does it matter if F3 is moving towards the base? What about at second or third base? NF and OBR would be appreciated so I can finally get them straight in my head.

If F1 throws to F3 he better be making a move towards 1B to make a play on R1. F1 does not have to throw directly to 1B, he could throw to F3 who is breaking towards 1B to make a play. It's a balk to throw to a flat footed F3, away from the base. None of this applies to any other base. No rules differences.
