True in FED and NCAA, but I don't think so under the (recently changed) OBR. Under the new rule, a pitcher can no longer fake a throw to 3rd base without first disengaging. If the throw is to the base, it is not a balk no matter where the fielder is, but if the throw is away from the base, the fielder must be close enough to the runner to make a legitimate tag attempt or it is a balk.
