He stepped off with is pivot foot and went straight to 3rd. Good move. If he started a pitching movement after he stepped off, ie raises his arms like he was starting his wind up, then I say you are right in nailing him.

I have seen similiar moves and it is deceiving. The runner would need to be taught to watch the feet. That in itself could be enough to call a balk, but he did step off so I feel he is good.
