Hell no. To complicated!

Where does U1 have to stand with a runner on 2nd?

This is for older kids, I think LL likes you just in the grass but in the same positions.

Thanks for this comprehensive explanation. By confusing me even more, at least I have reason now, not to attempt understanding baseball rules and just move on with my life.

Safe

Great stuff

0:33. I was taught that the official lineup was the one given to the PU. Whatever was given to the other coach, scorekeepers, fans, etc. are not official. Ideally, they're all the same, but where they differ, the one given to the PU is official. What's the correct ruling here? 1:19. I don't think you call the batter out here -- he is just removed from the field of play. I think you call the *proper* batter out and the next batter is the name that follows that proper batter. If the batting order is Smith - Jones ... but: Jones goes to bat, Jones gets a single, and then the defense appeals. (1) Jones is removed from the base, (2) other runners are returned to their bases prior to that last pitch (steals and other stuff stand), (3) Smith (not Jones) is called out, and (4) the next batter is the one that follows the proper batter Smith ... which is Jones (again). The craziest part is that teams can pretty much bat in whatever order they want, as long as the other team doesn't notice. They can bat their big HR-hitting stud every-other batter, if they want. Umps say and do nothing until the other team does. Weird.

Nice of them to call Timothee Chalamet for this video

He’s safe, the runner is allowed to round the bases to a reasonable distance, it’s not like he changed his direction drastically. He would have been called out if he would have rammed into the defensive player, so I wouldn’t call him out.

First take: completely missed the tag, safe.

Out, 3 feet not 5.5. Easy to tell, you can see the runner lands safe but his body length tells you he for sure went out of the base path unless the runner is 3 feet tall then yeah safe.

Best brand of umpire pants?

I have been umpiring for 33 years at ALL levels. I have trained 100's of fledgling officials. I have coached at all levels. As a coach and an umpire, I appreciate the following the most: 1) Take a moment before making your call. 2) Follow the ball/play. 3) Focus on the current situation and expect different scenarios. 4) Be in sync with your partner(s) 5) Be objective no matter the circumstances. 6) Always be in position. Find the best angle. 7) Be confident in your call. 8) Be assertive not arrogant. 9) Be approachable. 10) Be invisible

Fuck umpires. Worst fucking part of the game. Nobody grows up wanting to be an ump. Its where you're relegated to when too fucking shitty to actually play

What is tightening up mean

Runners on first and second 1 out and I called infield fly. Batter is out, but the runner at second was off the base when the catch was made. They throw it back to second but did not put the tag on the runner. Is the runner out at second.? Is the runner supposed to tag even though it’s infield fly?

This guy: "Once you're in this position you want to yell 'strike!' Loud and clearly" umpires: hooooo!!!

I would add that if a batter is hit by a pitch that would enter the strike zone, this should be a dead ball strike and 1st base should not be awarded. My impression is plate umpires frequently are not paying close attention to a batter being in the running lane to 1st base and sometimes are not paying close attention to the catcher's position when setting up to receive a throw and make a tag at the plate. If I ever umpire, I am fearful I will make mistakes here because as a spectator, I rarely see these two plays well. I also feel that some home plate umpire get distracted from calling a strike when the batter successfully checks their swing.

What position do you go to when there is a runner only on 2nd

Why the umpire throwing it back lol

Dawg I’m so scared ong

Great book for learning the rules ua-cam.com/video/TeOMwcB2obw/v-deo.html

since when do the umps show up on time?😂

Excellent, very helpful

What is this guy's name. He's a very good and he explains thing to a "T". Awesome videos. I'm 53 and I umpired a little when I was in my 20's but not for long, so I have a lot to learn and this guy is fantastic. Thanks man, great job.

Where should I keep my water bottle as a baseball umpire? I'm just starting out as an umpire and I don't know where to keep it.

The strike zone is also 3 - dimensional

When the topic of rain comes up, I tell the players this: "I hate to call games on account of rain. However, I'd hate to call an ambulance even more, so I'm going to have to use my best judgement." I mean it, too. I'd rather get the games in if possible, but I'm not going to risk center field catching a bolt from Zeus in the process.

My zone is knees to bottom of elbow and anything that clips the side if the plate

The basics of umpiring As soon as someone hurt your feelings, use your authority on the field to make bullshit calls, and ensure that the team that hurt your feelings, loses because you’re an overly sensitive baby with a god complex.

ties are outs. move the game along.

Still Hella Confusion here....

Is there any possibilities to get a help with immigrate to working with you in the future?

For the most part, well done! Very informative. I'd like to share the following with you: ● I find the very frequent pop-ups to be very distracting! I lose interest. ● Cutting back on a few repetitive comments will keep your readers/listeners more attentive. ● At about 3'58" in the video, the word "expectations" is currently misspelled with an extra "i": "... expectiations... " ● I took particular notice of something that *wasn't* done by the umpire calling balls and strikes. As the pitch was thrown, he failed to move his hands from the front of his knees to behind his back. This is a recipe for broken fingers, hands, and wrists! I see that you've posted additional umpiring videos on You Tube -- which I will be watching as part of my refresher for the upcoming seasons. Lastly, as an umpire fir 30+ years, when I'm teaching the basics to up and coming newbies, I emphasize the following: ● Know the rules! Different leagues have various or altered rules. ● Take charge of the game from the meeting at home through the last play of the game! This sets the tone for the impartial umpire who has been charged with officiating the game! This doesn't mean being snarky, snotty, or rude. ● Perhaps of most significance is "Anticipation." Be cognizant of where in the field you should position yourself as a play unfolds, which will often change based on the unfolding. An extension of this, eg, would be taking note of the runners on base and whether or not the next batted pitch becomes a situation where the "infield fly rule" should be invoked. Best regards, Dave

Hands are not part of the bat. That is a myth. The hands are part of the batter. If the hands are hit by a pitch it is just like any other time a batter is hit and they should take their base. If the hands are hit and the batter is swinging it is a strike and a dead ball, not a foul, even if it is strike three.

Is it an infield fly if only a runner at 1st?

concur with @cus9298 - you should be in front of runner on double or triple - (Read the play!) Button hooking has also been outdated. Simply, swivel head back around behind you to see batter/runner touch 1st. (Avoid knee sprains/injuries.)

WRT foul tip: the ball, after coming into contact with the bat must first touch the glove of the catcher, whether it is caught immediately or bobbled. If the ball contacts the catcher’s glove but is not caught immediately and the catcher gains control whether by trapping or catching, it is a foul tip. If the ball is not caught by the catcher, it is then a foul.

Today's my first game umpiring in texas but doing a two man crew. Great videos I've listen to everyone of them all day and and in the ride over!!

Where can I get more training videos

Excellent

Safe! No tag attempt before he changed his path to the base. He has 3 feet on either side when tag is attempted. A base runner can run to a base virtually any way he wants until a tag is being attempted.

Love all the content. I'm giving it a Crack as a side hobby,baseball is the true love of my life & want to still enjoy the game.

I doesn't matter that much in ABS, it's based on your height on ABS

Also, completely disagree with the B position facing first base. This is completely wrong. U1's proper positioning is hands on knees and squared off toward home plate. U1's primary responsibilities begin with watching the pitcher for balks, then home plate for check swing appeals and foul balls off the batter's foot. His tertiary responsibility is for pickoffs. The pitcher's throw will take him to that play when it occurs.

Overall, good video, but I (and most mechanics manuals) disagree with you on the extended play with nobody on. For a solo runner (BR), U1 has him all the way to third. The PU has no baserunner responsibilities on a solo BR on a double or triple. PU stays at home that entire play. The one and only time U1 ever covers home is when he goes out from A on a trouble ball down the right field line; once the ball is established fair and will not be interfered with, he sprints in foul territory to home because PU has the BR (solo) runner all the way to third. These mechanics have been in the MiLB, NFHS, and NCAA mechanics manuals for years and are common practice.

Overall a great video but a few mechanics that are not correct. Starting in A and waiting for the batter/runner to clear 1st before cutting in is an old mechanic that should be abandoned. You should cut in on any play to the outfield then button hook to see the batter/runner tag first and then you are in front of the batter/runner and inside them to quickly be able to get to all bases. If you wait until after they reach 1st you may not be able to catch them if there is a close play at 2nd.

At 6:33, with U1 in B and R1 at 1st, you say that he should face 1st base. No! U1 should face the batter and only pivot to face 1st base when he needs to. This is especially true with R1 and R3. You never want to have your back to a runner (e.g. R3).

At 5:11 You talk about U1's responsibility on a double/triple when there are no runners on base. You say, "As the runner rounds 1st base, you'll want to cut behind him." If there is a play at 2nd, U1 will be 'chasing' the runner from behind and will never get a good angle on the play. Once U1 sees that the ball has been hit into the outfield, he should immediately leave position A and move toward the infield grass *before* the batter-runner even gets to 1st base. You want to cut in *front* of him!

Every time when someone ask me something along the lines of what an umpire is, I send them this.
