This doesn't seem worthy of a pet peeve. Perhaps you have unresolved issues from your childhood.

I would hope you are only throwing a ball out when one is not in play, and you probably should not be throwing a ball in the dirt whether on purpose or accident.

Not only does it look very bad to do that, it looks even worse when it gets by the pitcher.
