AGE makes a difference here and whether they lead-off or not.

Usually, the BU signals TIME by raising both hands above his head, watches each runner safely return to base, and then signals the PU that he is ready for action to continue. The PU should check the ball and/or issue a new one to the pitcher during this time. Once the BU is ready and everyone else has set into proper place, PU must then signal PLAY before any LIVE action may continue.

If the PU signals PLAY and the pitcher delivers a pitch, then it is assumed that the defense was alert and knew the situation was live. If the PU signals PLAY and a pitcher attempts to pick-off a baserunner, then it is assumed that the offense was alert and knew the situation was live. Base coaches should also be aware and alert when runners lead off.

Do not even consider this an appeal after a PLAY has been made. Although, rules require retouch after a foul ball or a catch. Retouch really only matters after a catch at that age, not a foul ball.
