I used the mechanic frequently this fall. For the first batter I felt out of place, especially on base hits to left field (you have to wait for the runner if she has a double, and if she holds to a single, you may not move at all).
I felt the best advantage is the view of the left-handed slappers. To me, I got a better angle of the swing (or no swing) and possible caught/dropped third strike. Overall, I have a positive feeling about this mechanic, as did everyone I worked with this fall.
And another reason for this suggested mechanic is to help BU with the pitcher being outside of the 24" (now that we have the lines).
