I work high school varsity and college. You need to start calling them right away in the first inning if illegal. You will be amazed how quickly the pitcher can become legal once they know you will call it.

A few years ago at the state tournament, I got a girl on the first pitch of the game. I had noticed in warm ups that she was illegal every time. The coach walked out after the illegal pitch and said it was the first time she had been called all year. I responded "that's nice--it will be called today". She was never illegal after that pitch.

Found out later that the coach wasn't quite honest with me. It was a common occurrence with that pitcher and once called she would always be good.
