Speaking ASA

Trust me, a throw to a base which a runner has left early on a caught fly ball is not done in silence.

You will always hear the words (not necessarily in order):

Throw the ball to ______ (fill in appropriate base)
S/he left early

The book requires a request by A player, A manager or A coach. It does not require this request necessarily come from the individual catching the ball or throwing the ball.

It is not a force, but if I as the umpire know why the defense is going through this exercise, that is a valid appeal.
