Yes, stealing adds to the game, one reason FP is better. If it is added, it certainly should be to women's as well as men's. Perhaps both should be phased one level at a time until we see where it becomes chaos; which is most likely with one umpire. I can't imagine it in lower level corec or even mens' D & E; where we have retrievers instead of catchers.

That was the idea four years ago when it was added to the upper levels, to keep the catcher in the game. This, in turn, would help speed up the game.
Also, with a single umpire, it will be difficult to hustle out to make a call as getting to that position will often place the umpire in the middle of the play.
BTW, no such thing as "E" ball in ASA.
