At What Point Does A Pitch Begin?

[BlitzkriegBob]

From a game a couple of weeks ago where I was PU. V Team has pitcher who works very quickly. Right after receiving the throw from F2, she is immediately back on PP. 99% of the time she is waiting for the B to step in the box. Sometimes she stepped onto the PP with her hands together, sometimes she brings her hands together several times while on the PP. All of this happening without a batter ready to hit. Are these infractions if the ball is still live? During the game I called one IP for stepping onto the PP with the hands together, and one IP for bringing the hands together twice, both times when the B was set in the box. This was a Fed game but would like to know if ASA would be any different.
