I'll second Andy's comment about speaking w/ your partner between innings.

I probably wouldn't mention it to the pitcher directly, but would alert the coach about it. This is probably the easiest of the pitching infractions to correct.

And, as others have mentioned, the PU is usually responsible for this one, the double touch, and the 24" lane violation.

In my neck of the woods, the double touch is the one I see the most from the PU position, especially in black fly season. And it's much more common w/ the younger players and rec league play.

I've given clemency to a pitcher when some large insect flew at her face during her delivery which she curtailed. Equal treatment for a batter when some kind of bee flew inside her face mask.
