This is my first year umpiring. Pee Wee (12-13 yrs old)tournament. Team A pitcher has a strong outing for 5 innings. In the 6th, he starts to lose control and velocity a bit. Team B clean up hitter hits a massive three run homer. Next batter, first pitch is over his head. This pitcher had been around the plate all game. I immediately warn him and his manager. I did not however warn Team B pitcher or manager as I often see Major League umpires do. We finished the game with no other incidents.

Here is my question for some feedback. Would you warn both teams? I just felt that there had been no ill will between the two teams up to this point and that warning Team B seemed heavy handed considering the only thing they did wrong was to hit the ball too hard. Does anyone feel that a warning is not justified? Considering it was the first pitch of the game that was anywhere near a bean ball.
