We could all spit out the pitching rule, but try explaining what happened more clearly and the community will be able to help you better.

Here is the true right answer, as the question was poorly worded to start with. It depends on what was meant by "being in the set" in order to ascertain whether or not it was a balk. If the pitcher came to a set position legally, then what he did was not a balk. If he started his motion with his hands together, it was a balk.
