Let's think about this for a minute. The team is taking defensive practice (someone is hitting a ball to them). The defense is throwing the ball to bases and we have a pitcher trying to warm up on the mound? Unless there are protective screens as in NCAA and pro, we have a saftey problem already.

Aside from that, if one team's pitcher throws his "bull pen" from the mound, is the opposing team going to get the same courtesy?

I think that this is an area to stay away from as you are not in charge of the field until you are in the confines. Let the coaches hash this out before you set foot on the field.
