It is the most ridiculous MLB mechanic ever adopted by the lower levels. I suppose with a 4+ crew, there is little risk, but in a single or even two umpire crew, using a mechanic that has the PU face away from the action during a live ball is just plain silly.
You even see in in the LLWS (both fast pitch and little ball).
I think it is used because they think it makes 'em look like the big boys. What it actually does is make them less effective umpires.
