Had a 12U catcher that would talk to the batter, ask questions etc. as the ball was being pitched. Obviously an attempt to distract the batter. I just told her to stop. She complied for the most part, but would occasionally forget and start again in a new inning. A friendly reminder would stop it. In general I don't have a problem with the "swing" chant, that's always been a part of the game AFIC, but talking and trying to engage in a conversation while a pitch is being thrown is over the line to me.
