I didn't state my question well enough.

In OBR, I believe there is a requirement that the pitcher must ensure the batter is appropriately ready to receive the pitch. Where is that rule?

In FED, I do not believe there is such a responsibility on the pitcher (seems reasonable that the pitcher should be responsible but I don't believe there is a specific rule.) In FED it tends, therefore, to be the responsibility of the Plate Umpire to ensure the batter is ready; hold up the no-pitch sign as appropriate or needed for the occasion and then point to the pitcher saying "play."

Am I correct on this difference and where is this rule in OBR?
