I ump PONY, FED & recently LL Jr division ( 13-14 yr). I have been in the custom of asking the batters to "please stay in the box" between uneventful pitches. This is clear in FED7-3-1 & pretty clear in OBR 6.02(b) explanation. The same rule is in LL 6.02 but is not clear on stepping out between pitches ( typically as F2 throws ball back to F1 "to get a sign"). Some LL managers seemed irritated by this practice to speed up the game.
Is this rule, practice or what?
