Generally, these antics don't even phase a player whether batter or pitcher). I've found that stuff that bugs parents who aren't concentrating on hitting a moving ball or throwing a pitch into a little box is the same stuff I don't even hear... and if I don't hear it, the players generally don't either.
It's going to have to be WAY out of the box (or perhaps personal) to even register on my radar (and likely the player's radar as well).
Is it bush league? Probably. Is it illegal? Most probably not. If it becomes so, I'll address it as Bob suggested. And once is usually enough.
And I'll add this - in my entire career, I would suspect the PARENT antics that I've had to ask a coach address outnumber the bench antics by a factor of 10.
