Is there a possible U3K? If so, you better know if the catcher caught the ball. Is there the possibility the catcher is about ready to move to chase a missed ball? If the catcher misses it, could it be at your feet and you need to evacuate the area without kicking the ball? These are all possibilities and I'd rather have an inkling that I need to move before "feeling" the catcher move.

If you set up looking toward the pitcher, how are you going to be aware of any of this unless you move your head? If you can see it without moving your head, you are so far behind the catcher. In softball, if that's where you are, you are too far back.
