Sam,
When F4 is playing deep, ASA mechanics allow the umpire to work the middle as opposed to off F4s shoulder with runners on base.
If it is necessary to work the middle, the umpire should position him/herself one step behind a straight line between the two infielders. ASA's idea of a ball passing an infielder is when it breaks the plane between the two defensive players on either side of the ball's path.
