I carry my stopwatch out on the field but what is the standard mechanic for me as timekeeper during the inning? Do I announce how much time is left at a certain time? What should I be doing?
I know the rule for penalty for not being ready in one minute just looking for any standard mechanic for the "timekeeper"?

Uhh.... NO!
1st inning, both pitchers get 8 pitches, returning pitchers get 5 pitches. The PU controls this and should hold the teams to it. Leave your stop watch in your bag and stay in short right until you hear F2 call "2nd base" or "coming down", then move to "A".
Also, tell whoever told you this to stick the stop watch where the sun doesn't shine!
