The problem with using the first pitch as start time is you have now given one team an advantage.
The HT F1 gets to throw his warm-up pitches
UNTIMED whereas the VT F1 throws his warm-ups
TIMED Suppose the HT is LAZY and takes their "sweet time" getting onto the field or F2 isn't ready yet etc.
You do not RESET the clock after the top of one is complete so that the VT F1 gets FREE warm-ups.
It's simple, after Plate meeting is finished we tell BOTH coaches it's 4:30 and the clock STARTS at that point. if the HT wants to "dilly dally" on their way out the clock is ticking.
