For FED, it was emphasized at a preseason clinic for coaches. We were told to call it (penalty strike or ball and warning.) It might have been emphasized because everyone around here did it.
In a high school tournament, we did call it on the lead off batter of a private Christain school that was not used to playing under NFHS rules.
