Maybe they should adopt ASA's new BU positioning with no runners on base. That would solve the problem.

Is the new positioning on the right hip of F4, not literally? I thought I heard that somewhere.

In OKC, Henry stated off F4's right shoulder would be a starting point. This may work at the higher levels, but not at the lower or rec levels.
This year we suggested umpires start off the left shoulder with no runners on base. This helps to eliminate F4 from getting in your way and gives the umpire an unobstructed view of a play at 1B. From this position, there were no reported problems with umpires getting trapped outside or getting blocked out on a play.
