Would the relevant Fed rule be 6-2-4b:
[Illegal acts include: balk. If there is a runner or runners, any of the following acts by a pitcher while he is touching the pitcher's plate is a balk: failing to step with the non-pivot foot directly toward a base (occupied or unoccupied) when throwing or feinting there in an attempt to put out, or drive back a runner; or throwing or feinting to any unoccupied base when it is not an attempt to put out or drive back a runner;
Since F1 in the example stepped directly to 2nd, whether it was occupied or not, it would not be a balk. Correct?
Would the relevant OBR be 8.05c-d?
