I can see the utility of this SOMETIMES on a 90 foot diamond. I don't think things move slow enough to make this effective on a 60 foot diamond. Also, I think the amount of "preparation" needed by PU for a play at the plate is way less than those BB guys are imagining. OTOH, I believe the MLB umpires are trying to move almost 135 degrees around the catcher to make this call, when the normal mechanic on a small diamond is only 45 degrees ... a step or two tops.
