Technically speaking you could be out in CF and make an appeal call. The overall driving idea being: did the batter strike at the pitch?
And yes, you can make a check swing call on a LHB from A. Especially if you saw the end-cap of the bat, then I would say the batter has struck at the pitch. (This would be a case where maybe the PU was blocked by F2 coming up and unable to see the swing/end of the swing).
[Edit: I am speaking in regards to 2-man mechanics. If it makes any difference.]
