If a batter does something (like step out of the box, get abducted by a UFO, etc.) that causes the pitcher to balk, you don't call a balk on the pitcher.

At least in FED rules.

Never stated such. If a batter steps out of the box causing the pitcher while in his windup to stop or do something funny then "no balk" can be issued as both the pitcher and the batter have become illegal and as such just do it again. But, in the case as mentioned where the batter is calling for time and time hasn't been granted and the pitcher thinking time has been granted stops his pitching motion then....balk, balk balk all day long.

What did the chicken umpire say? Balk balk balk
