No pitch if batter not ready?

are we supposed to be putting our hand up for each pitch??

I put mine up if the pitcher is ready before the batter. IOW, if the pitcher's ready to pitch before the batter steps in, I put up my hand until the batter is ready. If the batter steps in and is ready before the pitcher is ready, then I don't hold the pitcher up.
