I stand corrected, but real problem is the far too many umpires that think that taking signals off the pitcher's plate is an IP (softball) or a BALK (baseball) is troubling. Not taking or simulating taking signals while in contact with the pitcher's plate is a quick pitch infraction of the rules which has its own specific penalty.
