And that is only half the list for BU in general.

Did any runner leave early?
Was the pitch legal?
Did it hit the batter?
Did the batter swing/offer?
Did the bat contact the ball?
Was the pitch caught?
Was it a foul tip?
If batted, did the ball hit the BR?

And you have about 1.5 seconds to check the list.
