  • 2 Umpire System (Rotation) Fast Pitch and Modified Pitch the 2 Umpire System Requires That Umpires Move Into Positions Appropriate for Each Play
    2 Umpire System (Rotation) Fast Pitch and Modified Pitch The 2 umpire system requires that umpires move into positions appropriate for each play. The information referring to positioning and the calling of plays is written for ideal circumstances and for the best possible positioning for the majority of plays. Proper positioning can be achieved if you think in terms of 'keeping the play in front of you'. In order to do this there are four basic elements that must be kept in your vision. 1 The ball 2 The defensive player making the play 3 The batter runner or runner and 4 The base or area where the above elements meet Three Basic Principles There are three basic principles that apply to the Two Umpire Rotation System; the division principle, the infield/outfield principle and the leading runner principle. 1 The Division Principle The home Plate Umpire takes all calls at Home Plate and third base and the Base Umpire takes all calls at first and second bases. Exceptions 1 When the Batter Runner goes to third base, the Base Umpire then takes Batter Runner to third 2 On an Infield play, the Base Umpire takes the first call on a base, even if it is at third base 3 When a Runner steals to third base, the Base Umpire takes the call 4 If you must deviate, communicate your deviation to your partner May 1. 2017 Fast Pitch Adapted from Softball Australia Page 1 2 The Infield/Outfield Principle When the ball is in the infield, the Base Umpire moves or stays in the outfield.

  • 2020 Umpire Manual
    UMPIRE MANUAL LETTER FROM THE USA SOFTBALL NATIONAL OFFICE USA Softball Umpires We want to welcome you to the 2020 Softball Season. Thank you for being a USA Softball Umpire as it is because of you we continue to have the best dressed, best trained and dedi- cated umpires in the country. Without all of you we could not continue to make the umpire program better every year. From those who umpire USA Softball league softball night in and night out, those who represent us on the National Stage and those who umpire on the World Stage you are the ones that show everyone we are the best umpires in the world of Softball. We continue to look at ways to help our program get better every year. We have a new agenda for the USA Softball National Umpire Schools that is working well. We have also revamped the Fast Pitch Camps and Slow Pitch Camps, to be more advanced in techniques and philosophies targeted to those umpires who want to take the next step in their umpire career. We have established a new committee to revamp the Slow Pitch Camp agenda to make it centered around the areas of Slow Pitch Softball that need the most attention. As our upper level Slow Pitch opportunities grow, we must design a camp around working that upper level while still helping the umpires trying to get to that level. This is the third year for the umpire manual to be in electronic form posted on the web. It is also available with the rule book app that is updated every year.

    OHIO HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 2021 & 2022 Approved Baseball Officiating Mechanics, Regulations & Standards "The Blue Book" Beau Rugg, Senior Director of Officiating & Sport Management Dan McGinnis, Director of Officiating Development (DOD) Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal, and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball. James Patrick Murray Page 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 3 General Umpire Mechanics 4 Officiating Code of Ethics 5 Required Uniform 6 General Reminders 6 Game Day Procedures 7 Pregame Conference 7 During the Game 7 Plate Umpire 9 Game Day Meeting- Mechanics Outline 10 Baseball Signals 13 Communication 14 2 Man Mechanics 20 Page 2 Introduction Very few issues that arise during a baseball game are rules related. (This not to say that a thorough understanding of the rules is not necessary, it's required!) Most, however, can be linked to umpire mechanics. There are holes in 2-umpire mechanics, no matter how good you are or how long you have been officiating. Before each season, it is always a good idea to refresh yourself on the with our two-person mechanics. Even though not much has changed, we can fall into bad habits during the summer months when its 90 plus degrees! Three and four-umpire mechanics help reduce the holes in officiating but at a cost. The mechanics in this manual help minimize those gaps but in no way will be able to eliminate them. Experience, training, and general baseball knowledge help us overcome those hurdles that arise during the game.
