Although I do know a guy who gets off by bellowing "BATTER!" for some odd reason.

The NCAA requires us to summon the leadoff batter to the plate with 30 seconds to go on the between-innings pitch clock.

Yep, and the CCA manual a couple years ago said to go to the side of the team coming to bat. It wasn't required, but was mentioned in the front of the book when they were talking about keeping the game moving between innings.

I tell the pitcher when he has two pitches left and the batter when one is left.

MiLB umpires also advise the lead off batter when there is one pitch remaining and usually they do this from the offense side. I use the same procedure in my college games. time It does help keep the flow of the game moving.
