The movement of the first basement was the balk. You can’t do that to the runner. At least that was my understanding. The catcher can balk as well.
ahhhh I see now. Thank you.

Someone will correct me soon so maybe we shall both see! Lol that was just my understanding of what happened. Because he did actually throw the ball to the first basemen.

The pitcher shall be charged with a balk if, while in contact with the rubber, he throws to a fielder who is either in front of or behind first or third base and obviously not making an attempt at retiring the runner at that base. However, there is no violation if the pitcher throws the ball directly to first or third base in this situation. In this situation, the pitcher didn't throw to the base, because the first baseman was charging. He threw to the charging first baseman, while the pitcher's foot was on the rubber. That was the balk.
