Some rule sets prohibit this for safety.  Some are not as explicit.

If you are calling NFHS, do NOT allow this.  It is both unsafe and called out under sportsmanship.

It was a POE a few years ago.  Somebody help me on this one?  I’m not great at digging out POEs.

3-3-1-i can be used with a caseplay exception to allow other types of warmups between innings such as throws or running. 

[The Man in Blue]

It builds off that … try 3-3-1(f)(2).

Look back when we were getting the POEs on National Anthem standoffs and “shows of force” or intimidation tactics.

Seems like there is enough there to get this under control.
