Coach for the team who's batter were being told "swing!" by the fans wanted me to tell them they had to stop. She was kinda surprised when I told her no. Then she wanted to know if she could tell them. Told her I could not stop her but I doubted that her talking to them would be a good idea.
Sorry but if you can't play while there is noise going on you have bigger challenges than the noise!

While I agree with you, there's something to be said about fans who do that, especially at a JV game. Frankly, if I were the coach of the team whose fans were being this obnoxious, I would have gone into the stands and told them to knock off the childish crap.
