What rule set are you going with?

In NFHS play, rule 5-1-1p says the ball is dead immediately when there's an illegal pitch violation with no pitch thrown. In NCAA play, rule 10.8 was changed this year to include the Effect that if there's an illegal pitch but the pitch is not released, it's a dead ball. So in those two rule sets, you don't have to signal DDB and wait if, for example, the pitcher steps on the plate with her hands together.

Not sure if ASA is the same.
