You've dismissed this, then, without thinking about it.
If I have a ball hit high towards a foul pole, I'm thrilled if one of my partners in the middle can help me in case I lose the ball. Again, read the mechanic -- it's not used on EVERY fly ball. If it is, it's a training issue. And cutting corners would be useful on one that might bounce over the fence (but doesn't) if all umpires are fixated on the ball.
