Balk?
Well, you could nail him with the end of FED 6-2-2:
........During delivery, he may lift his non-pivot foot in a step forward, a step sideways, or in a step backward and a step forward, but he shall not otherwise lift either foot.
It has nothing to do with deception, it has all to do with failure to follow the rules of pitching while in contact with the rubber. With all that foot motion, he probably is not long as a pitcher, either.
