Hey superman, how you gonna do that? 
You are in the slot; your nose following that pitch all the way into the catcher's glove. In a blink of the eye the catcher has bounced up and fired a bullet to 2B. The ball reaches 2B in one second. (Being a good engineer, you know that catcher is about 88' from 2B and a ball at 60mph is traveling at 88 ft/sec.)
You leave the slot and go around the batter and now you have used up half of your one second and you are 6' into foul territority. And you are going to get how far into the infield?

I do it all the time. As mccrowder points out, the 1 umpire game does not have the catcher that can pop up firing (usually).
