Recieving and mirroring this signal prior to the pitch or AB reminds:

- The PU to listen for the BU's out while watching the runner attempting to score.

Do many of you know of and/or use this signal?
I've never seen or heard of this "two finger across the wrist". It isn't in any umpire manual I've ever seen.
