I am not trying to be funny or a smart aleck but I am trying to figure out how to see this as the PU.
In SP, it is easy as the pitch is literally bringing the umpire's eye down with the pitch. In FP, the feet are not the priority. The ball, and zone, are your priority.

In either case, this isn't something you call unless you are damn sure it happened, not that is just seemed like it happened. This call is probably made more often when it is so obvious, it grabs the umpire's attention to the point it cannot be ignored.
