Question #1: With runners on base, should this be called a balk?
Question #2: If yes to question #1, given the circumstances, would you call it?

Sorry, don't know the OBR rule, but in FED the pitch does not have to be thrown. Umpire simply declares strike.
Does the pitch have to be made in OBR?
If FED is same as OBR there is no balk issue.
