I can only find in the rule book that it is a balk when pitcher takes his signs while not on a rubber. It doesn't specify with or without baserunners. Playing 13U USSSA / high school rules. Is this correct ruling?
What rule book says that?

USSSA has it's own rule book - it isn't high school rules.
