How about a ban on pitching coaches calling each pitch for the catcher - and waiting until the batter is in the box and ready to swing before signalling the call to the catcher? Then because it takes so long, the batter requests time, which I feel is reasonable given that he has been standing at the ready for at least 15-20 seconds before the pitcher even begins to think about his motion.
Geesh, I mean really, how many different kinds of pitches can most HS guys throw anyway (effectively)?
