risky
I agree that this is a good mechanic, however, only if you and your partner talk about this and are both experienced enough and good enough to use this mechanic. I could see using this in my college chapter. The risky part is during the H.S. or Summer season. Even though you discuss this in pregame you will have the less experinced, LAZY, or "old School" partner who will not be in position. When working the plate, they will not get up the line, you will take a longer look at second and oops, no call at first. Or you will hustle up the line from behind the plate at bang out a runner on a close play and oops, the base ump yells safe. The mechanic makes sense, but you better be sure of it.
