Speaking OBR, not sure about NFHS.
I agree balk.
One oddity is that if I am picturing OP situation correctly pitcher is using the windup even with runners on base.
So I'm not getting him for not stopping.
I've got him for a quick pitch and thus illegal ..... so results in a balk if runners are on base. It's not exactly the situation described in the comment 8.01 but I believe the coment applies. ("Pitchers ... may not step quickly onto the rubber and pitch.")

don't need to wait until there is a runner on and things mught be a little tense either. It is a ball on hitter 1, pitch 1 (unless he puts it in play & reaches) so the problem is addressed early, with a minor penalty.
