Ball/strike warnings are for judgment calls based on the pitch, not the bat.
What is the reference for this? NCAA rule 13.6.4 says simply that a player, coach, or team cannot "Argue balls and strikes." It doesn't limit those to only pitches.

So if a PU feels the batter offers at a pitch (doesn't check her swing, attempted a bunt, attempted a slap, etc.), those don't fall under 13.6.4?
