Hey, maybe it is just me, because I've been tested out as having pretty remarkable peripheral vision. Now Joe, a lot of us are telling you that we can see runners move, and still track pitches. The more this goes on, the further you are in the minority on not being able to see this. Maybe, just maybe, it's not us.
Kyle, of course you can see the runner move. What you cannot do is see the ball leave the pitcher's hand and the runner's foot leave the base. There is no way. You would have to look at two places at the same time.

In FP Softball(same rule there-cannot leave the base before the pitcher releases) the well coached runner is in motion long before she leaves the base.
