The umpire should take care of this on his own. I would send send the catcher out to let her know to not quick pitch.
The batters hand means nothing unless the umpire responds by holding his hand up.
When I have aggessive pitchers which do not warrant the warning about quick pitches, I normally hold my hand up to control the pace.
Quick pitches are a no pitch.
