Why are you 3-5 feet off the line?

You should be right next to the line in the A position.

Most umpires I work with these days give the bounding ball to the base umpire at or beyond the CUTOUT, not the bag. It's an easier reference point, and gives the base umpire the first crack to signal on the fair/foul bounding ball. If the base umpire hesitates, the plate umpire signals.
