Any thoughts on the PU positioning on that play? The video angle is poop but it looks like he's making that call from the point of the plate. I know ASA loves 1BLX, but I'm OK with rotation when we follow the catcher's hips. POP is probably not a bad spot to see this particular play.

I see it as the standard ASA back of RH batter's box. Not the best place on this play, IMO; the NCAA point of plate rotating to 3rd base line extended would have been a very much more definitive position, I think.

Remember, NCAA manual makes it clear that POP is not a calling position; it's like a holding zone while you read the play and rotate to a calling position.
