so you're saying that F3 doesn't have to be at (or close) to the bag? For example, when playing behind the runner, at least 10 feet from the base, the pitcher could throw right to F3 and as long as he tries to apply a tag, it would not be a balk?

I thought the throw had to be to a base, not just to a fielder. Obviously, F3 sneaking in behind the runner to the base is legal, but I thought the play had to be at the base.
