I would call the illegal pitch when I noticed it, being careful of the base runners situations after I hadn't called it for a few innings till I noticed it. It's still illegal and probably something like this should have been noticed on her first pitch or first warm-up pitch. Needs to take the signal or appear to be taking a signal with the hands seperated. The pitch starts when one hand is taken off the ball after the hands have been brought together. So in her case she is illegal as soon as she walks on the pitchers plate with the hands together. There are preliminaries that have to be followed on every pitch and she has been getting away with not following them.
