The topic post was on hits to left field. The issue is what mechanics system to follow on clean and clear base hits, with no one and no reason to chase. You are either changing the issue, or misunderstanding the original post.
In answer to your post, NCAA does not chase on a "can of corn"; we chase only if there is a possible trap or catch issue. When that happens, we do revert to standard two man, although the "working outside" theory is still approved for the two man, following the issues I mentioned.
THIS IS NOT AN APPROVED MECHANIC IN ASA OR NFHS. But, it may well come into play on a long, hot day. It isn't intended to put BU or U1 in a better position; it is intended only to save steps and energy on a "nothing" play. As Mike has properly noted, it has potential to bite you.
