I agree that it is not easy and that its totally possible. Thats just it though its
POSSIBLE which is not what I would want. The PU has 52 to 54 feet to get in calling depth and position where as U3 has 80 or more feet(my masters degree was in marketing not math) to cover to get in OK position not the best possible position which in addition to hustle is a HUGE priority if not the #1 priority as an umpire. That being said the PU has the best opportunity to get in the best position and see the play/touch at first. And as for myself I know I COULD get there but it would be a struggle to get in the best calling position/depth and if I didn't do that then well I would feel bad for not doing my job.
