When I think of preventive umpiring, I think of it in a game management sense.
Simple things like shadowing a batter who has been hit to first base, when the batter is upset at the pitcher.
I don't suscribe to the concept of having the catcher fix balks. Maybe in a lower level game when the kid just doesn't know how to pitch, I'll have the catcher go out and tell the kid to take his signs from the rubber, but that would be it.
