Admittedly know almost nothing about USSSA, but

In NCAA/ASA/NFHS still almost impossible; the interpretation of "in front of" versus "behind" is NOT parallel to the baseline, it is the string theory line between the two closest infielders. Unless F3 and/or F5 are SERIOUSLY deep, and completely ignoring a possible bunt, even really, REALLY deep F4 and F6 are still "in front" of any base umpire, as it applies to this rule.
