All I can add to that is that even in baseball you are slowly seeing the various rules makers gravitate more and more toward what softball already has in place. In fact, in most games , the whole "about to receive" language is gone in baseball as well, and it's called pretty much the same way as ASA or FED softball (although the award can be different - and is actually MORE severe than softball).
