Pitcher Warming - HS Varsity Fed Rules

But, during those times when that is not possible, I simply won't put the ball in play until the shagger is "safely" back in his team's dugout

That adds dead time to the game. If he keeps coming out without a helmet after being duly warned, am going to find another solution to that problem, like getting rid him.

My guess is that if you delay the game the first time, it doesn't happen the second time.

The amusing thing here is that most of the protecting players spend most of the time talking to the pitcher or catcher and not paying attention to the game.

And NO, I don't go checking all the time to say something. Just an observation that I don't get involved with.
