Regarding close plays at first when the runner beats the throw AND F3 drops the ball...
Its really not a matter of waiting on safe calls, rather, it's coming up with a relaxed safe mechanic and no verbal versus an emphatic mechanic along with a loud verbal "SAFE". What looks more professional in this instance? Unless you are the MASTER of the OBVIOUS, I think a simple safe mechanic is sufficient.

Well, perhaps you were that guy at the plate once who yelled to the catcher after a slide/tag: "Show me the ball! Show me the ball!"
Here, gestures the catcher.
"Safe!" yells "that guy."
In amateur ball, you simply can't wait on safes at first.
