This brings up the more important issue that I address before every game. DO NOT vacate the plate unless you KNOW it is covered. "Rotating" was not designed for infield hits or overthrows. Adjust and cover bases accordingly. Who would think to have U1 run home on an infield hit, overthrow and the ball ultimately getting thrown near his back at 70 mph? Don't be a spot umpire. Don't rely on the manual to explain every situation. If you don't think outside the manual, you'll never learn how to adapt to an actual game situation.
