Balk?

R3, pitcher in wind-up position with both feet on rubber, hands together, takes sign. R3 breaks for home. Pitcher steps straight with free foot while maintaining contact with the rubber with pivot foot. Meanwhile, batter only has one foot in the box. Should this be a "quick pitch" and penalized as a balk? What if the batter was in the box ready to hit?
