Not that much, but I did take a one-semester class as a Phys. Ed Major at San Diego State University in Coaching Baseball. It was taught by legendary baseball coach Jim Dietz along with Dave Legg and Joel Skinner. Names I'm sure you are familiar with. This was a very intense class, complete with mid-term exams, final exams and two term papers. I worked very hard in the class and received an A.
One of the sections of the class was Base Coaching. Jim Dietz said to, "Keep your eye on the ball because it gets on you quick." We were even instructed to move in toward the line instead of the natural tendency to move away from the line and into the ball's path.

F6 with R3? Ok. As the catcher comes set? Ok. What are you trying to say?
Your examples are horrible. Bottom line: You watch the ball when it is pitched to make sure it doesn't hit you in the dome. Everyone is supposed to be watching the ball when it is pitched. The 16 year old in the crowd is liable to get a ball in his ear, but that's his problem.
