To make it absolutely clear, at the younger ages it's quite a useful move. With high school ages, I've used it three times in the past five year - all three times on 3-2 counts, two outs and a runner on first.
With runners on first and second, two outs and a 3-2 count, my pitchers are taught to automatically use the inside move. This slows the runners up considerably from getting a big jump.

Makes sense. That keeps them honest. You won't risk the balk. And you might get the third out.
