All levels (pro, NCAA, FED) have umpires running all over the place for no good reason. If you're U1 and can't be at 2nd base from A in advance of the runner, retire.

That's probably true for the levels most of us work. With the speed of professional players, it makes sense for pro to rotate, so that U1 can avoid any possibility of interferring with B1 rounding first.
And as we all know, mechanics typically filter down.
