So I've wondered why is the mechanic not to have the PU take the runner on 2nd anyway. That's basically where I'm looking anyway and it's pretty easy to catch.

I've seen it several times and laid off because I don't want to be stealing a call or causing trouble. Should I make that call?

Because your focus should be on the stuff I mentioned in the previous post.

Not during the prep of the pitch. I'm watching the pitcher not the batter. With a right handed pitcher if the 2nd base runner steps off I'm going to see it. With a left hander I might not as well, but it's still pretty easy to see.

She would have to be at least a couple of steps off, or else you would have a) x-ray vision, or b) a transparent pitcher. In short, there is no way that you can actually see the foot leave the bag. I am not saying that it is completely impossible for a PU to make this call (when the runner is a few steps off the bag), just extremely difficult, and obviously a distraction to what you should be doing. Just leave it where the books and clinics tell you it should be, in the realm of the BU.

I'm not watching her feet and no if she pulls her foot with the pitch not mine at all. But if she clears the pitcher, that's a different case.
