Hi all,

Is there a rule that states a pitcher cannot warm up on the diamond before a game?

I'm not referring to the 5 warm-ups at the start of the 1st inning, I mean while the two teams our doing their pre-game rituals out on the grass.

We had this the other day. It didn't cross my mind until the opposing coach questioned me on it. I had the pitcher/catcher leave the diamond to warm up elsewhere.

Regards,

Bob
