In rec games, I don't worry too much about the 1 minute rule. In tournaments, I do. I'll cover that in my plate speech. Very seldom is there a complaint. If there is, it stops pretty quick, once a ball or strike is awarded. They can get out there easily in a minute, if they want too. Now, I give a ittle extra time if the catcher was on base and I can see she's trying to get out there pretty quick. Otherwise, it's a rule, I'll use it just like I do any other rule.
