A balk is any of a large number of illegal actions made by a pitcher when he is on the rubber. When this happens, the ball is declared dead and all base runners are awarded the next base. The main reason for the rule is give a runner a fair change to steal a base. Simply put, a balk is a fake pitching move- an attempt to make it look to the runner like a pitch in being made when in fact the ball is being held in the pitcher's hand or going to a base.
It is also a balk when the catcher is out of the catcher's box when the pitcher begins his pitch, and when any player other than the catcher is not in fair territory when the pitcher begins his pitch.
I am referring to a pitchers balk.
There are some illegal moves that a pitcher can not do after he gets in position. Usually some sort of incorrect movement of the hands. But, balks are very rare. If one occurs, everyone moves up a base.
A balk is when a pitcher does his/her windup but does not actually pitch the ball. It usually occurs by accident that the ball slips out of your hand the wrong way or something to that affect. Therefore it fakes out the batter resulting as a ball.
In Baseball it means when the pitcher does a pitching motion towards home plate, but holds on to the ball, to try to pick off the runner on base. If that happens, the runner automatically goes to the next base.

What i think that your trying to say is balk. A balk can consist of when a pitcher makes a motion to home plate and then suddenly turns and throws the baseball to first or third ( yes second but rarely). This it not alloud because it gives the pitcher an unfair advantage that will make the batter take a lead and then suddenly finding him self running to the dug out because hes out. with out the balk rule it could be merely impossible for a running to detect a balk before the pitcher starts his stride
