If, and in 3-umpire system (or less) I rather do not [different discussion], a BU goes out for the outfield to call the (nearly) trapped hitted ball he CAN/MUST use the safe signal. In the infield, however, I prefer "the fair hitted ball"-signal for a just uncaught ball.
Maybe it is in the translation, but on a line drive up the middle that was trapped by F6, you would stand on the line an point fair?

Off course not! However those "typical for baseball" (as a pointed strike to the side instead of a hamered one) I avoid.
Here's what you said:

Signaling "SAFE" looks to much on a baseball-machanic, IMO, so there's onter reason why I'm not willing to use that machanic. I'm a softball-ump. not a small-baller.
Hence, my question.

Does you question mean, that you think softball is "baseball for girls"? It sure does sound like that!
???? I guess you get another "translation" pass for this. Last one from me, however.

Not on the line, but I do point to the ground, yes.
