Reply to "hidden ball trick plays"

From the umpire's perspective, I see a pitcher in a legal set position who goes into his stretch, makes a feint toward second base and disengages the rubber.  Nothing balk-worthy going on there.

 

 

Just to clarify I was not saying it was a balk, just that if the intent if balk rule is to stop someone from deceiving a baserunner this is not all that much different.
