Had a situation involving this last night.
Great ball game 2-1 home team ahead in top of seventh. Coach brings in relief pitcher (actually #1) to throw gas by all the batters. First pitcher had a great rhythm...waited until batter was ready, took signal, then went. Second pitcher was is a fast worker. She gets the ball back and wants to throw again.
I held up my had twice in the first 6 innings. I had to hold it up every pitch in the top of the seventh. If she doesn't see the hand, she pitches. She doesn't start until the hand it down.
So I went 6 innings with 2 "hand holds" and in the last 1/2 inning I held it up about 20 times.
