Turn balks on and all that quick pitching comes to an end...
WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG NO ONE ON BASE NO BALK AND PITCHERS DOES NOT HAVE TO SET

You will not get called for a balk if you do not set. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COME SET IF NO ONE IS ON BASE, BALKS WITH NO ONE ONE BASE IS IF YOU START THE WIND UP AND DO NOT THROW A PITCH OR STEP OFF THE MOUND WITH THE WRONG FOOT. IN THE CONTEXT WHICH WE ARE TALKING THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN IN THIS GAME. THERE IS NO BALKS CALLED FOR QUICK PITCHING. IF UMPIRE DEEMS THE PITCHER IS QUICK PITCHING A BALL IS CALLED BUT IT IS NOT A BALK IT IS FOR SAFETY OF THE HITTER.

Technically, no, there is no “balk” when there are no runners on base:
Rule 8.01(b) Comment: With no runners on base, the pitcher is not required to come to a complete stop when using the Set Position. If, however, in the umpire’s judgment, a pitcher delivers the ball in a deliberate effort to catch the batter off guard, this delivery shall be deemed a quick pitch, for which the penalty is a ball. See Rule 8.05(e) Comment.
Rule 8.05(e) Comment: A quick pitch is an illegal pitch. Umpires will judge a quick pitch as one delivered before the batter is reasonably set in the batter’s box. With runners on base the penalty is a balk; with no runners on base, it is a ball. The quick pitch is dangerous and should not be permitted.
