Pitchers shall take signs from the catcher while in contact with the pitcher's plate.

Question. What is the penalty for not doing this?
Thanks

Depends on what he does.

Taking signs off the rubber: "Don't do that."

Not taking signs: nothing.

Of course, if he's quick pitching, you have to address that separately.
