First thing is to eliminate the pivot and use the "AAA glance" this will help you keep what momentum you have already achieved.

MUCH easier on your knees too.

Or else you could always follow what the NFHS umpires manual says...on an extra base hit, take the batter-runner only as far as second base; U1 has him at third. Be alert for the runner returning to second or advancing home on an overthrow at third and cover the plate for U1.

This has to be covered in your pre-game with the other official otherwise you could have a play at third with no umpire to cover. That would not be good.

Exactly what I was going to say. Also, you can head directly for third, cutting just behind the mound. If there's going to be a play back into second, stop in the working area and head up in that direction.

Or, just go out on anything that might be a triple -- I'm sure it's a "trouble ball."

I'm guessing this mechanic has you glancing over your left shoulder as the BR approaches first and makes his turn to pick up the touch at 1B, and you would then switch your glance to over your right shoulder as you move across the working area?

I can definitely see how this will help me get to a spot where I'm accustomed to being to take the runner into 3B.

Thanks, Tee.

Correct. But you still need to see him long enough to watch for obs by F3.

Okay, makes sense. Don't make the switch to looking over the right shoulder until the BR clears F3. I'm anxious to get on a field and give this a try.
