To stop or not to stop?

[Thane Yennie]

At the risk of being hammered by my colleagues I will pose this question. RHP - as he closes to set position from stretch, his hands just come together and he turns and fires to first base. Is this not "deceiving" the runner? I know Carl, I need to quit thinkin' so much. : )
As i stated earlier we haven't started ball here in wyo yet but I want to have my arguments ready for those coaches/mgrs who view this as a balk. Thanks
