Every other human endeavor that involves tracking a moving object with the eye does not get so silly as to suggest that the best way is to move your eyeballs only and keep your head rigid. If there ever was an advantage to this teaching, the advantage was small compared to the cost - the inability to actually see the ball clearly all the way to the glove from as close to the plate as a SB umpire typically is.

So are you saying that it is better to move your head when tracking a softball because the softball umpire is closer to the plate than a baseball umpire? That doesn't make any sense to me.
Baseball (and the one softball clinic I attended) teaches you to track the ball with your eyes and not to move your head, which I do. This is my first season to do high school softball but I have found that using my eyes to track the softball is no different than tracking a baseball.
