I agree - don't touch the ball. There's often a shortstop or other infielder who "needs" to hand the ball to the pitcher. And, on the off-chance that this happens - just happened again today in a college game - the defense started off the field with 2 outs - you don't want to handle a "live" ball
I also do not throw the ball to the pitcher when I'm putting a new ball into play. I hand the ball to the catcher and let her throw the ball to the pitcher. There are some catchers who do not want anyone else giving the ball to their pitcher.
