There is no grounds for a warning, and no place for one. This is not baseball (and the MLB rule is ridiculous anyway). If you are sure of intent, toss. No warning necessary. If you aren't, don't ... and don't warn either - it's unnecessarily antagonistic, and will get you in more trouble than not warning (next inside pitch, and the coach will come out chirping for an ejection... and if you don't eject, and his pitcher hits someone - and you do, it gets worse).
