In OBR the runner must be committed to the base before the pitcher is making a play rather than "throwing to an unoccupied base." In FED, the runner does not have to be committed to the base, he needs to only feint toward the base.
To answer your question, in FED (as is the OP) Yes, it's legal.
- F1 is making an attempt to play on the runner or to drive the runner back. (I think that would be the correct verbiage from the rule book.)
