Steve........a few years back......we had a HS player that got a reputation with the HS umps on making the quick turn at first and getting the extra step or two on her run to 2nd or 3rd.
She got away with it some in FED because the umps were not always watching as close as they should (one of my mentors clued me into her sneakiness). I called several of her ASA games and on an extra base hit.....she cut the corner at first almost every time. But NOT ONCE did I ever have a coach make an appeal on her. I never did figure this out because the miss of first is the MOST obvious.
She was one of the best players I ever saw in this area and got a full ride to a D1 school.
