A pitcher can fake to any base except first base (without stepping off). So this move in theory is completely legal. I have never seen a pitcher not disengage with the plate after faking to third in this type of play. It is legal at least in NF and NCAA that I am aware of as long as there is disengagement with the plate.

Peace
