I'm interested to hear you all hand it to F2. My association tells me to throw it back ALWAYS. If you have are physically able.
I had a catcher last year who said, just give me the damn ball. I used to catch, I kind of understand his frustration, by throwing you are interupting the chemistry that the catcher and pitcher have. But I had a very important umpire in the association working the bases that game, so I told F2 that as a rule the umpire should be throwing the ball back, and that I understood where he was coming from. I then made it a point to pick up his mask a couple times for him.
I stick it into F1's glove pretty good, the thing that scares me about throwing it back is the one time the pitcher isn't ready for it, you break the kid's nose, and now you have serious problems. If I were making the rules, always hand it to F2.
