In NFHS, it's a balk if the pitcher is within "approximately 5' of the rubber".
In OBR, it's a balk if F1 is "on or astride" the rubber.
In NCAA, it's a balk if F1 is on the dirt.
Note also, that this assumes that the ball remained live during the entire process. If the ball became dead, then this is neither an out nor a balk. Get the ball back to the pitcher and resume play.
