No rule code AFAIK uses the word 'simulate' in this context. |
This is a softball thing.
NFHS softball rule 6-1-1-b: "While in this position [on the pitcher's plate], the pitcher shall take (or simulate taking) a signal from the catcher."
ASA 6-1-D: "While on the pitching plate, the pitcher shall take the signal or appear to be taking a signal with the hands separated."
