That's why as BU I could not really tell that and did not call anything.


Now I'm confused -- how could you not see this as BU? If F1 is throwing to third, (generally) the motion is to raise the throwing hand to about the ear, turn, step and throw (all in one motion). The glove hand is not raised.

If F1 is pitching (or feinting a pitch), (generally) the motion is to raise both hands above the head -- a BU can see that.
