Do these mechanics come from some earlier mechanics that I'm not aware of?
Do the pros get time as in #2 these days? I haven't seen it on TV but you don't see everything.
I don't do this stuff but it seems to be very prevalent. Am I off base?

In #2, pro umpires call time after most base hits in order to check the ball.
