In OBR the pitcher cannot take the rubber for the set position with hands together. There is no penalty in the rules and the umpire should call time and tell him not to do that. But in practice we allow pitchers in taking the rubber and getting comfortable and ready to come set there to have their hands together momentarily as long as they are then separated, and we and the runners can then see that they are not yet set.
