Sorry Shick, Only in OBR can you not go to your mouth when on the dirt. NCAA as well as FED, you can go to you mouth while on the mound. As long as your not in contact with the rubber, the pitcher may go to his mouth as long as he wipes directly before going to his glove.

Rich, the reason for the ball in OBR followed by warning and potienial ejection is to make him pitch the ball. Keeps him from just going to his mouth for four balls without having to pitch the ball. Keeps all the potiential of a mis-play in play by the defense.
