Playing vs Umpiring

• Playing is a factor of TIME
• Umpiring is a factor of ANGLES

Basic Principles

• There are only TWO of you out there
• Communication
• Responsibilities for Runner/Ball
• Going Out
• Plate Umpire

Keep Your Chest to the Ball(Open the Gate)

Base UmpireCrossing the Dirt

• U1 does not go out to rule on a fly ball when
  in B or C
• Certain circumstances may require that he go out
  to make a proper ruling AFTER a catch/no catch
  attempt or other play

Common Mistakes

• Too Close
• Following the ball to the glove
• Timing
• Not Reading the players actions
• Not adjusting to the play

20

21
Basic Umpire Mechanics

• We work from two primary set positions
• Full set
• Standing set
• These are used when observing any action that may
  result in a call

22
TIMING

• Dont Anticipate the call
• Make sure ALL playing action that may affect the
  call is completed
• Pause
• THEN ----- Call it

23
Proper Position and Timing are the KEYS to
making the right call

  communicate our calls for plays in the field
• These are generally accompanied by verbal
  announcement of the call as well

Umpire Communications(Among ourselves)

• We use a relatively standard set of signals to
  communicate among ourselves to relay information
  to each other
• Most are non-verbal
• Verbal is generally used only during a play

30
Umpire Communications(Among ourselves)

• Infield fly situation
• Outs (to your partner)
• Rotating (on a hit)
• Staying at Home
• Timing Play
• My call

• Getting help
• Check Swing
• On the bases
• Whats the count?
• Verbal Communication
• Acknowledging verbal communication
