It is a balk if a pitcher steps (ie, steps and throws, or steps and feints a throw, or steps only) to an unoccupied base unless a runner is advancing toward and trying to acquire such base.
What was the free foot doing? Still planted or was direction and distance being applied?

Since he turned towards second and feinted, which was the last legally occupied base of the runner at the time, why does this matter?
