I don't know if " rationale " would be the correct term, but I liken it to having players throwing baseballs around in the infield during the pregame conference at the plate. I'm uncomfortable with the idea of having baseballs being tossed around by any age group when I or others in the infield are focused on other things - like a pitchers conference or any defensive conference. Since the rule applies during pregame, I like to see it applied all the time - again during conferences, not ALL the time. This is strictly MY opinion. There are no SPECIFIC rules in NFHS to support this officially. Am I being an OOO? Geez, I hope not. I should point out that I still do some youth leagues for the local youth baseball federation during their tournament weekends. That may be where I get this " philosophy " from. But I am open to opinions on this.
( Didn't mean to steal someone else's post .)
Do you allow fielders to warm-up between innings? What's the difference? The coach at the mound? C'mon.

As Tee pointed out there is no rule to prohibit this and if anyone was to go overboard with safety rules, it would be FED. Yes, in my opinion, you are being OOO.
