I got a batter who better be in the box within 10 seconds, and a pitcher who better bring it within 20 seconds. I might have runners on base, potential steals, and possibly a bunt or slap to add to the situation. I might even have to watch and see if the batter put her foot on the ground outside the box when she made contact with the ball.

And on top of that, I have to watch the pitcher's foot and see where it lands.

That's pretty darn low on my priority list of things to watch. I'm only calling that if it's so darn obvious that Ray Charles notices.
Ray Charles was at our HS regional playoff game last night. We had an outside the 24" call AND a batter stepping on the plate while bunting. Our PU got them both -- and they were even obvious to me over in my position in the A slot. (The outside the 24" call was on a curve that would have been strike three. Pitcher blew her away with a rise on the next pitch.)

I know certain folks talk about the stepping on the plate also being low on the priority list, but I've never seen that much of a problem of a PU seeing a batter on the plate.
