Batter ready for pitch

[rafking]

As a PU, do you allow the batter time to get ready when they have both feet in the batter's box? This is experienced ASA 14U age group. Many girls hold up their hand to the PU requesting time to get ready.

I was requested to watch for quick pitching by a coach during one game. I am very unlikely to grant time to a batter when both feet are in the box. I feel if they need time to dig their feet in etc, then they should keep one foot out of the box.

Simply said: With the batter completely in the box, can the pitcher pitch? OR does the pitcher have to wait until the batter is ready to receive the pitch?
