Wade's correct, as per ASA 7-4-K.

A strike is called by the umpire: if the batter does not take their position in the batter’s box within 10 seconds after being directed by the umpire.
95% of the time, the batter will comply without a word. 4% will initially squawk... until you call a strike on them.

The last 1%? Well, they sit in the parking lot for fussing too much about a simple direction.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
