Wait a minute. Come to a stop, then step off. Is not a balk.
The rules as described here don't address the popular diaspora. As far as I understand (and I've never called a balk in real time), if a pitcher comes to a stop with his foot on the rubber, he either has to throw the ball to the plate or step off the rubber.
Roberto Osuna stepped off the rubber.
