Jerry,

This is a balk. I had this happen this past weekend in a high school playoff game. Same concept was happening, but pitcher was in the wind-up and not the set. However, my pitcher did the samething, got to halfway in motion and completely stopped. I called a balk immediately because of no continous motion. The FED rules are specific about this, once you start, you have to keep going, you may not stop in mid-motion.
