1 Two-Person Umpire Mechanics

2 Walk The Field Before The Pre-Game Conf.
Local Ground Rules… DMA DMA

3 Two Pre-Game Conference: Head Coach Must Be Present
No Players May Throw Ball(s)… Safety HC HC

4 Start of Game: Plate Umpire Checks with Base Umpire

5 …may need to take lone runner to 3B
PLATE UMPIRE Routine Coverage is 3B and HP BASE UMPIRE Routine Coverage is 1B and 2B …may need to take lone runner to 3B

6 DMA DMA R foot next to chalk line

7 may INFIELD HITS 90-Degree Angle Basic Four “Set”
Timing… see play complete F5

8 -. INFIELD HITS 90-Degree Angle Basic Four “Set”
Timing… make one signal INFIELD HITS F4

9 No Ball… No Call Button Hook In… F6 F3 B- R

10 BASE UMPIRE P F9 or F8, short hop, throw to 1B
Base Umpire in foul territory BASE UMPIRE F8 F9 P

11 BASE UMPIRE Bunt to F5 or F3 F4 covers 1B
Base Umpire in foul territory F4 F5 F3

12 Inverted Infield… Bunt
Handle Same As Infield Hit BASE UMPIRE F3 F4 F5

13 BASE UMPIRE Dropped Third Strike… 1B foul side
Extend 1B Foul Line to backstop F2 throws ball to F3 from foul territory BASE UMPIRE B- R F3 C F2

14 BASE UMPIRE Dropped Third Strike… 3B foul side
Extend 1B Foul Line to backstop F2 throws ball to F3 across infield BASE UMPIRE F3 B- R C F2

15 Two- T Bunt Coverage with Runner at 2B… F8 R F6 F4 F5 F3

16 FOUL BALL COVERAGE PLATE UMPIRE… No Runner In Scoring Position 00 00
Straddle Foul Line First Call is Fair or Foul Second Call is Catch or No Catch PLATE UMPIRE… No Runner In Scoring Position 00 00

17 PLATE UMPIRE… With Runner(s) In Scoring Position FOUL BALL COVERAGE
Fair or Foul Catch or No Catch Tag-up of Lead Runner If batted ball is hit to Left Field foul line… Plate Umpire will straddle third base foul line the same as he/she did when there were no runners in scoring position. If the batted ball is hit to Right Field foul line… because there is a runner or runner(s) in scoring position… Plate Umpire must back up and look down first base-right field foul line. Remember… Plate Umpire has not only the catch/no catch call… but also the tag-up of the lead runner. Once the Plate Umpire has the “fair or foul” call… then the catch/no catch call one must remember that if there are less than two outs… runner(s) will be tagging up and perhaps trying to advance. This means the Plate Umpire will go to the “Holding Zone” or to “Home Plate.” All umpires must know: “How many outs” and “Where The Runner(s) are” and “Who has the responsibility” if there is a play at each and every base. 00 00

18 Look at Runner-Glance at Ball Theory
NO RUNNERS IN SCORING POSITION… Look At Ball-Glance at Runner Theory… Look at Runner-Glance at Ball Theory F7 R1 B- R

19 INSIDE-OUTSIDE THEORY… Button Hook to Infield
Ball on infield, Umpire on the outside of bases Ball in outfield, Umpire on inside of bases Button Hook to infield BASE UMPIRE No Runner in Scoring Position…

20 WORKING THE RIM No Runner In Scoring Position…
Fly ball to LF, CF, or RF Stay outside bases RF… trail runner to 2B R

21 PLATE UMPIRE… Fly Ball Coverage with No Runner In Scoring Position R
work around Pitcher’s Circle PLATE UMPIRE… Fly Ball Coverage R B- R

22 PLATE UMPIRE… Fly Ball Coverage with Runner(s) in Scoring Position,
Uses “Holding Zone” Has Tag-up of Lead Runner PLATE UMPIRE… Fly Ball Coverage R R

23 BASE UMPIRE… FLY BALL COVERAGE F6 With Runner(s) in Scoring Position
Button Hook Into Infield Tag-up of Trail Runner(s) F6

24 RUNNER ON 1B ONLY BASE UMPIRE: Calls at 1B and 2B
Square to Home Plate When Off The Line… “Set” with release of pitch BASE UMPIRE: Calls at 1B and 2B Basic Four 90-Degree Angle for Call Shade To Lead Runner Theory R1

25 BASE UMPIRE… 15 feet behind baseline with runner(s) on base… but, if F6 or F4 plays deep… Base Umpire may never be closer to the infield than the nearest infielder. F6 F4

26 SHADE TO LEAD RUNNER THEORY
Once runner(s) are on base… check to see where outfielders are set up… don’t block their view R F6 F4 R R

27 SHADE TO LEAD RUNNER THEORY
Square to Home Plate = Take ½ step back with left foot / when on 1B side of infield Square to Home Plate = Take ½ step back with right foot/ when on 2B/3B side of infield F6 F4

28 TWO-PERSON UMPIRE SYSTEM
BASE UMPIRE IS NEVER POSITIONED BETWEEN F4 & 2B MAY NEED TO TAKE LONE RUNNER TO 3B… IF PLATE UMPIRE STAYS HOME BASE UMPIRE WILL CLEAN BASES AS NEEDED (Request time to clean base from Plate Umpire) (Plate Umpire is only umpire to call time because he/she has best view whether all play has been completed) BASE UMPIRE WILL CLEAN PITCHER’S PLATE AFTER THE 3RD OUT (Point your seat to center field when cleaning pitcher’s plate / to outfield fence for bases…) BASE UMPIRE WILL NEVER HAVE A CATCH/ NO CATCH CALL unless the Exception is used… Final Play / Game Ending Play 2 Outs Multiple Runners It leaves the Plate Umpire with all calls at all bases One Umpire System is least accurate and least effective

29 BASE UMPIRE F4 DOUBLE PLAY: Take 1-2 steps toward 2B
See ball released w control NEVER RUN DIRECTLY AT 1B Flat angle… blocks view Get as close as possible to 1B/ “Set” / Don’t Make Call “on the run” Sell ‘em Out/ Sell ‘em Safe Signal BASE UMPIRE F4

30 Who takes throw to 2B/ Pick Offs/ Special Plays?
BASE UMPIRE: Runner in Scoring Position Position between F6 and 2B First Play on Infield 15 feet behind base/baseline RUNNER ON 2B ONLY or 1B & 2B Who takes throw to 2B/ Pick Offs/ Special Plays? R1 F6 R2

31 BASE UMPIRE R F6 R Runner at 1B and 3B… Know skill level of players
1B runner will steal 2B… hope defense will forget about R1 at 3B… or try to draw a throw as she advances to 2B F6 R R

32 RUNNER ON 3B Only, 1B & 3B, 2B & 3B, and Bases Loaded
BASE UMPIRE: Longest Angle for Call at 1B 15 ft. behind baseline First Play on Infield Hold your position until ball is released for your next call… F6 R1 F3

33 Rundowns: Between 1B & 2B Between 2B & 3B R R

34 RUNDOWN: Between 3B and Home Plate

35 Plate Umpire can assist Base Umpire with call at 2B…
In Two-Person Umpire System Plate can assist Base Ump… trails Batter-Runner to 1B or … if asked… on a) pulled foot b) swipe tag or c) bobbled ball Base Umpire can assist with check swing… whether on or off the line… Plate only asks on a “ball” call Base Umpire can take lone runner to 3B… Plate “stays home” Base Umpire may never assist Plate Umpire at Home Plate x R x B- R

36 Two- PICK-OFFS: At 1B… Base Umpire in fair territory
At 2B… F4, F6, F8 Glove Side of Tag, 90-degree angle R X R F3’s glove? R-handed L-handed R F5 F3

37 Two-Person Umpire System
Veteran vs. Rookie Umpire: Your knowledge of the sport of Softball will always be beneficial… Move like an “athlete” Common Sense is vital to your survival Good first impression/ Pride in your uniform and appearance Credibility and Respect Preventive Umpiring Skills Timing / Correct Signals / Positioning Studying The Rules / Applying The Intent of the Rules to Game Situations Are You Approachable… Look Coach In The Eye… Listen… Be Concise w explanation… In my judgment… This is what I saw… (Sometimes must walk away… Umpire does not have to have the last word…)… Keep a good pace to the game
