OBR rule 8.04: When the bases are unoccupied, the pitcher shall deliver the ball to the batter within 12 seconds after he receives the ball. Each time the pitcher delays the game by violating this rule, the umpire shall call “Ball.”
The 12-second timing starts when the pitcher is in possession of the ball and the batter is in the box, alert to the pitcher. The timing stops when the pitcher releases the ball.

FED timing is 20 seconds, but that includes runners being on. He may make a play or feint at a runner within those 20 seconds and not be penalized (FED 6-2-2c)
