The batter heard ball, she is standing there. Now the BU reverses the call to a strike. Why isn't that placing her in jeopardy?
This is one situation where I WILL NOT go to my partner. I will tell the catcher and/or coach that I made the call and will stick with it - for the obvious reason that the runner did not get a fair chance to advance to 1B.

To be honest, if I'm on bases and we're not using the Voluntary Strike mechanic, I wouldn't reverse my partners call in this situation.
In this situation it's easier to live with a checked swing that really was a strike then a delayed 3rd strike call from your partner on a ball that hit the ground or got away from F2.
UNLESS, it was the last out in the bottom of the 7th and I was tired, then it's a strike all the way.
Wait......Don't hurt me.....I'm only joking
