I have a question for consistency of mechanics.

Do you allow the pitch to complete? Then, call "Time" and say something like "Quick pitch. That's a ball/balk."

Or, as soon as the pitcher starts, call "Time" and say "Quick pitch. That's a ball/balk."?

Basically, is a quick pitch a DDB or stop it immediately and assess penalties?
