was watching this live and thought it was a balk as well, mainly because it looked like the pitcher was starting to go home with his upper body, saw the runner take off, and then dropped his front foot down and as much toward first as he could at the time. And you are right, I see this at the HS level often enough to be ready to make that call. But if you rarely see it, it is pretty easy to let it go since it was a close call.
