This being said, does anyone on this board have the plate umpire take that call? Doesn't it make sense for the plate umpire to take that call, since PU is looking right through second base to see the ball in centerfield?

This is a variation to the standard mechanic that our association uses.
All unpires are trained in this variation for the game.
We use it with slow-pitch also.
It is a variation and as long as everyone knows how it is going to be handled, it works with no problems.
