Because runners are now leaving early, hoping the ball gets away from the catcher.

I can't remember ever calling a runner out for leaving the base too soon in SP.
Granted we are speaking of AA, but it still makes no sense to me. That's about as stupid as a runner on 3B leaving early on a retouch on a fly ball caught at the fence in RC field.

I wonder if the catchers know they can pick-off that runner at 1B?
