Clint,
First situation I have no balk, just a real weird motion. Why is he setting up on the 45 degree line. Remember he must have both direction and distance on his step towards first or its a balk, just being on the "45" doesn't eliminate that requirement. Also, once he starts the dragging of his foot back he is committed to the plate.
Second situation, I have a balk. Pitcher must assume a set postion while engaging the rubber. He cannot be set while off the rubber, and if he steps off the rubber after coming set he must "lower his hands" or you have a balk when he re-engages. Also, the pither does not have to come set to throw to a base.
