Just re-read this thread and realized the problem being addressed was F1(pitcher) and not batter. I agree that general dress codes shouldn't have to be covered in pregame. I guess I haven't had this problem occur in a game yet - only with the batters. I can't envision myself stopping a pitcher in the middle of a batter's at-bat to have him tuck in his shirt, but can see doing it at a time when play has stopped. Different umpires feel more strongly about some rules that are considered "nit-picky" by other umpires. I say, if you want something stressed that doesn't normally get stressed, you might be safe to cover it in your pregame. Can save you some hassle later in the game.
