    With a runner on second base it is virtually impossible to call a balk. The pitcher may fake a throw to second. It doesn't matter what happens with the pitcher's feet, as long as he steps towards the base before releasing the ball.

    In this situation, one foot has moved towards second so no balk would be called.
