[I've seen numerous times where a fielder is 30 - 40 feet away from the ball and leave it but the player coming out of the dugout is well over 200 feet away. Plus you have to wait for the kid to get a helmet and I've seen umps hold up the game for the kid to run down and back to get the ball.
Then those umps don't understand the reason for having the player from the bench shagging the balls, and why he's wearing a helmet.
