Nestor Cortes' Fake Pitch Windup - Is It an Illegal Delivery? And Why It's Definitely Not a Balk

Yankees pitcher Nestor Cortes pantomimed a fake pitch motion during his windup in Cleveland. HP Umpire Mark Carlson no-called the bizarre delivery as Guardians batter Andrés Giménez hit a foul ball, but was this pitch illegal? Because it's definitely not a balk (bases empty).

Discord:   / discord   Facebook:   / closecallsports   Twitter:   / closecallsports   Official Baseball Rule 5.07(a)(1) governing Windup Position states, "Any natural movement associated with his delivery of the ball to the batter commits him to the pitch without interruption or alteration. He shall not raise either foot from the ground, except that in his actual delivery of the ball to the batter, he may take one step backward, and one step forward with his free foot." If anything, this classification falls under baseball's "don't do that" group of rules, meaning there is no gameplay penalty such as an illegal pitch (automatic ball with bases empty or balk with runner(s)). It is not a balk, as the bases were empty.
