You'll make that call on bad bunt attempts and checked swing attempts that shouldn't have been, but at the professional level, it is nearly impossible to detect on a full swing.
At lower levels...

How about this - in your original scenario, F5 jumped up for the ball and it glances off his glove. F5 comes down and your runner runs into him. Both players were doing what they were supposed to be...

Pitching rules exist for F1 when he is pitching not when he is throwing. Would you want the same set of throwing rules for your catcher? Who says that he can't dump the mitt, transfer the ball to his...

I can't see it happening any other way.
