Yesterday I was watching U mass vs someone on CBS College Sports Channel and the play I have stated on this forum many times happened...
Runners in scoring position, ball to RF with Runner coming home for a close play at the plate ----
The PU (a female I would have to google to get her name) as she saw the runner rounding 3rd and F2 set up for the play at the plate..
She went to 3rd Base Line Extended for the perfect call on the swipe attempt by F2.
The best position on that play, for the perfect vision, and a great call and reading of the developing play.
The D coach wanted the runner out for out of basepath - PU had perfect vision of that and replay showed that wasnt the case IMO.. although the announcers were clueless as to the rule and declared the runner should have been out.
IMO ASA ignores 3BL Extended to our detriment and for that play, that is the best position, and it is a teachable position for that play. It could be in a little diagram and everything
