I have a balk. The pivot foot must land first before the hands come apart. FED specifies this exactly. OBR just says step. It's hard to judge this with LHP step off and throw to 1B or a RHP step off and throw to 3B and they get away with pushing it. But this move to 2B I would balk because the foot didn't land before the hands came apart. The step is actually part of the throwing motion.
