Anytime a pitcher stops his movement, I have a balk. Particularly when the left hander tries to "freeze" the runner by holding his right leg up and stopping.

I would feel safer with the "herky jerky" motion then trying to explain the shoulder turning toward home. Most right hander's on the move to second turn their left shoulder toward home to turn to throw to second.

Now, any movement toward the plate commits the pitcher to the plate.
