If the batter does anything that in my judgement causes the pitcher to balk, I have some decisions to make. If the batter was doing it deliberately, trying to create the balk, I will call "Time!". Then I will proceed with a "do over". If, in my judgement, the batter was doing this as an unsportsmanlike act, I may eject him as well. If he was not doing the act deliberately, I may still call "Time" and proceed with a do over. OR... I have to remember the pitcher has the option to still pitch the ball if he does not balk, so I would not automatically call "Time" UNLESS the pitcher does balk. It is usually to the pitcher's advantage to pitch the ball if the batter steps out (check on the various code's penalties for the batter stepping out).

Lots of possibilities...
