It was actually a kind of
F1 actually lifted his leg, turned toward 2B, did not plant his foot, and then swung the foot to follow the runner going to third and stepped off more towards third to begin running him down.
I called "Time", gave the pitcher his warning (tournament rules required one warning on balks) and placed the runner back at second...
Had he planted his foot toward second, I believe he would have been legal, but as it was he just started too many moves without finishing them...looked like a balk to me.
