Technically he never had his "pivot" foot on the rubber, as a right hander, his right foot is considered his "pivot" foot.

FED casebook 6.1.3L ..."assumes a right handed pitcher who illegally assumes a left handed set position in order to to make a stronger pick off throw to second base. The penalty is a balk since a right handed pitcher's pivot foot is his right foot."

Per BRD, Page 231, OBR uses the FED coorelation.
