Would this be considered a visit?

Rut is correct, and it is the same in OBR. As long as the coach does not delay the start of the inning he can talk to the pitcher. They still only get one minute to complete the conference/warm-up pitches.

A couple of Saturdays ago, I had a Pony League game where the pitcher and catcher each had one red and one blue sock, on a team with red, white, and blue as their primary colors. I think it would have been OOO to have told them to change. Unless the opposing coach gets nit-picky with it, in which case he had better not violate one single rule the entire game.
