The "interpretation" of this is that throwing directly to the base, or to the fielder who is close enough to make a play, only applies to 1B. It does not apply to 2nd or 3rd, so a pitcher can turn and throw to F4 deep in the outfield grass and it is not a balk.
Further research, I found same ruling in PBUC also, but is not in MLBUM that I can find.
