I'll take a stab at MLB, but this needs to be confirmed....
My understanding of MLB, it's a delayed call. r1 has option of attempting 3rd, if thrown out and batter did not advance, offense has option of accepting penalty with no put out.

There is never an option on a balk.

The hitter could swing at the pitch and get a hit though...

And if he does the balk is ignored (OBR).
