Please show me where he said anything about the pitcher stepping to the rubber at all, let alone stepping to the rubber in the set with his hands together. He only said the pitcher started in the set. To me that would inferr that he had already come set after taking his signs and then began his preliminary motion to deliver the pitch, and in doing so, raised his hands over his head. He's allowed to do this unless he steps back with the free foot at the same time. Sorry, but I don't see a balk here without reading more into the question than what was written.
Tim.
