This is illegal in Federation play. I think this is called a balk not an illegal pitch.

I think it's a ball with no runners and a balk with runners if I'm reading the BRD correctly. Anyhow, the stop does apply with no runners in FED.

You have the penalty right, but I thought that the FED termed this as a balk even though no was one on base.

You can't balk with no one on base. See 2-3 ( .. "with a runner(s) ... )and 6-2-4 ("If there is a runner or runners ...")
You can have an illegal pitch, which is a balk with runners on base, and a ball with no runners on. That's the situation here.
