The A position provides no increase to better umpiring .
it leads to unnecessary ' if-then ' scenarios for the PU such as fair-foul calls when the BU is in the A ( or not ) and the call on grounders down the line and over the bag .
The B spot is much better for angle for all bang-bang plays at first .
on every hit to the outfield , the BU in the A runs toward the B spot while ensuring the BR touches first and is not obstructed .
we should start in the B spot and get rid of the A .

B is not a better look at plays at 1B. An umpire in A calling fair/foul past the bag is much more credible than PU. Especially on hot shots right over the bag, and line drives, fly balls down th
