FED rule 1-2-3:
The on-deck circle should be to the side and away from home plate, 37 feet if space allows. Neither team's players shall warm up in the other team's on-deck circle. The on-deck circle does not have to be occupied, but if a player wishes to warm up, he shall do so only in his team's on-deck circle, provided the on-deck circle is located safely away from home plate. (2-23-1)
The pros don't "do this all the time"- not if they are the next batter. While they might go take a few cuts in the cage before then, once they are the on-deck batter they must be in the on-deck circle
