I have heard two recommendations on this particular play:
1. As previously mentioned, PU immediately goes to BU on the check swing without waiting to be asked by defense. 2. PU refuses (in rule sets allowing it) the request to check with BU and sticks with the call of no swing and a ball. I prefer option 1. Get the call made and let the players play. My opinion of Option 2 is that it can create more problems than it solves. Yes, it may resolve that play at that point in the game, but can become a problem later with the umpire being perceived as too good to get help on a checked swing. FWIW, I have NEVER heard of a teaching in softball that allows the BU to call the strike without a request from the PU.
