Not a balk. Bringing the pitching hand up into the glove is NOT the start of the pitching motion.
6.1.2 SITUATION C: With a runner on third base, F1 steps on to the pitcher’s
plate in the windup position and his glove hand in front of his body and his pitching
hand at his side (a) immediately brings his hands together for the purpose of
taking the sign but does not begin his delivery, or (b) gets the sign and then
brings his hands together and stops before delivering a pitch, or (c) gets the sign,
brings his hands together and continues his pitching motion.
RULING: In (a), (b)
and (c), these are all legal moves.
