There is a school of thought that right handed pitchers MUST step off the rubber or complete a jump turn to legally throw to first. The folks who preach this disregard the fact that the rule book does not discriminate against righties.
If, when lifting his leg, he does not hesitate (come to a stop) before moving directly towards first, and does not make any move towards home, I see no balk. But then, I think that right handed pitchers should be treated as fairly as left handed pitchers. Silly me.
