Why is the ruling on this move being changed?

Hey everybody. Just wondering if there has been an official statement regarding why this move is becoming a balk next year in OBR. (RHP, step to third, look to or throw to first)

Is it a speed-of-game issue? I have never umpired at a level where this is common or even allowed, so, I'm not quite sure what the rationale would be. In my opinion it can be an effective psychological tool (or clue). Sorry if this has been widely discussed as I'm sure all rule changes are, but I couldn't find anything while searching.
