Most of the time that this situation arises will be when you are in the "A" position - no runners on! This is where most people fail to see the pulled foot. Now if you fail to see this when you are inside the diamond, you really need to consider being outside the fence during a baseball game!  |
I rarely disagree with you, but I do believe the exact opposite is true. When in "A," you have the opportunity to move toward the line to see a swipe tag, and for a pulled foot you are right there in perfect position to see it. The only time you should end up needing help is when you get straight-lined or screened, which normally happens when you get a bad angle working inside the diamond. In "A," one should be able to get his own plays.
