Caught for a left handed pitcher in high school that had best pick off motion I’ve ever seen. Would pick his right leg straight up and just pause in that position without leaning toward 1st or home. He could go either direction without a change in motion. Picked off many a runners and held others so close that there were very few steal attempts.

And he balked every time.

that lefty move, it can be deadly but even then if u practice against it ,can help...
the pick move last night was a move often used in hs/ college...some pitchers get away with it the "first time", second time, umpires usually are watching for it again....in mlb....youll get banged for that balk right away, so pitchers wont even try it....
its where the righty slightly get "air" under his left(simulating delivery) foot barely enough to fool the runner but the pitcher dam near simutaneously tilts his backside and snap picks first base...u can easily read it only if your expecting it, the first time, after u see it, base runners become quickly familiar at the movt...usually the pitcher got banged on it by then....
