Are you referring to this:
Quote:
10-2-3 After receiving the catcher's signal, the pitcher's hands must come together in view of the plate umpire for not more than five seconds.
Note: The hands do not have to come to a complete stop and, therefore, may be moving during the touch.
EFFECT—A ball is awarded to the batter.
