FED rules. Can the starting pitcher warm up on the mound while his team is taking pregame infield behind him, or must he be in the bullpen or off to the side somewhere?
Thanks.

Not covered in FED.
I don't think it's a safety issue -- heck, you sometimes see two coaches hitting the ball to infielders while another is hitting to the outfield who is throwing the ball to a base / cut-off man. I'd think the pitcher warming up would get in the way of that, but it's not my concern.
Personally, I'd allow it as long as it's part of the team's infield time. I know that goes against NCAA and OBR rules.
(I hope you're not asking because of one of my games!)
