Balk call

DANO1421Member

So this past summer I was at a game and the coach kept trying to argue a balk call. Here is the situation.

The pitcher was a right handed. While walking out and around the rubber he put the ball in his glove. He then would come up to the rubber and put his right foot parrell to the rubber (right handed pitcher) then as he brought is left leg into be alined with his right foot he would take the ball out of the glove and put it behind his back and bend over to see the catchers fingers.

So is it a balk or not? I have had server umps tell it is a balk, and others tell me it is not.
