If you think the closest official should make the call, then your concerns over coverage responsibilities are at the expense of your players. Officials ref, you coach.
My guess is you just didnt like the call, whoever would have called it. Your "distance" complaint is the same as the one many have heard before.."Thats not your call" which is a weak complaint from a coach.

As an baseball official, you should (and probably do) know better.
