I've seen this happen twice in the last two weeks.

This happened on an uncaught third strike where the batter could advance to first. The ball went to the back stop and in the first sitch the batter just stood there watching the catcher retrieve the ball.

The Plate umpire was between the batter and the catcher and he pointed to first base which woke up the batter who then started on his journey. He was thrown out at first but I thought it was inappropriate for the umpire to point and tip off the runner.

The second time was the same although the runner was off to first prior to the point. Is this a new mechanic?
