@leftyctopher The pitcher does not have to hold the stop, or what is known as the "set" position for a specified amount of time. The rules state that the pitcher "must come to an intentional stop".
I've umped a lot of games where I've told the catcher to stand up like he's stretching or something and told him to call time, and do out and tell his pitcher to set for a full second so I don't have to call it. I've only called a handful of balks in 25 years.
