That is not the same mechanic as the PLATE UMPIRE might use in declaring a batter out to prevent a defensive play on him at 1st base. Cheers

And, since I'm here anyway, I'll add my $.02 to the side that iterates "The Batter is Out" when he starts to run in a situation where he can't be safe at first. It's explicit in the FED case book; I use it at all levels. |

I go with the cathers reaction if the ball is caught I just say strike 3 and do the pullout, If the ball touched dirt then I say strike 3 then wait until there is a tag before I call the batter/runner out. If the cather doesnt have his head in the game and know when to throw and when not to then he shouldnt be the cather now I do older boys/mens games so I guess if I did young ball players I might approach that different. So I guess use what you think is best for the level that you work....UMP17

I didn't realise that FED had this explicitly covered and, since we don't have FED Down Under, I can't say I've ever seen a PLATE umpire use the mechanic you outlined. You have helped me learn something "new" yet again. Cheers,
