Sorry I should have clarified. Going from the stretch. As a right handed pitcher I would be facing 3rd base. Could I take my left (free) foot and step towards 1st. My heel would be facing 1st... If thats not legal is there a way this would be possible?

Balk! Maybe, guess I'm needing more info. I say okay from Wind-up. Stretch..

First, not sure why you'd wanna try this?
I can't get much on the ball with my "heel remaining pointed towards 1st".

Your description sounds almost like a "snap throw", like a lefty on the rubber just sliding his free foot an inch or so, no step, then throwing. Balk, he has to disengage (step back) before doing this.
1st move; you lift your free foot, this starts your pitching motion, you must pitch, OR step directly towards the base your throwing to, if you put it back down without pitching with your toes still pointing to third I don't see a step towards 1st.
Sounds almost like more your leaning backwards towards 1st.
