I don't think FED covers it, but I allow it.

I think in OBR and NCAA this applies to subs coming in for injured players, but I see no reason to prohibit players warming up with each other while the pitcher warms up with the catcher.
F1 goes to F6, F6 goes to F1, New F6 takes a few ground balls from F3 while pitcher warms up. This is common as dirt in HS and below, less so for higher levels where pitchers are specialists and not likely to take another position when removed (except in NCAA cases where pitcher is DH for himself). Runners need to observe what is going on and stay out of the way. The ball is dead so they can surely find a safe spot to stand.
