BASE Calls, Positions

[@americanpride9733]

When the ball is hit that ump HAS to move from the line

[@chuckparkins8267]

Sorry to say guys but video is wrong. He should NEVER be standing and staying in his starting position as runner is running down the line. He needs to pivot into the infield with a 90 degree angle to the throw.

[@emberlily7]

I think this video was just meant to demonstrate the calls. The same guys have other videos where they demonstrate proper Fielding and rotations

[@McClimber234]

Agreed. So many inaccuracies in this video. More than one. 1:20 what ump is calling a foul by getting hit by the ball?

@@McClimber234 That happens. Not so much with the little kids, but it does.

[@MaydayAggro]

New mechanic is to stay near (a step or two inside) the line so that it is easier to see pulled foot.

[@6litz882]

ok these comments are negative but this video helped me alot thanks

[@jaycee003]

It's called working into the wedge, google it

[@jhawver]

The mechanics on this are Wrong, Wrong, Wrong! Force Out at 1st base, the umpire must move to fair territory to get a better angle and avoid the runners path. And as for position B, you always stay in FRONT of the fielders, not behind! WTH!

On a 60ft diamond you are not inside the bases. It’s too small. But at 65 feet and above you are.

[@jhawver]

@@nickbrown6916 And what about the runner's path?

[@nickbrown6916]

@@jhawver you stand out in the cut of the grass out of the way. Honestly around here though it never comes up all of 60ft diamond games have just one ump. I just know that’s how little league teaches it too. Look it up its pretty common.

[@jhawver]

@@nickbrown6916 With all due respect, why didn't he showcase that mechanic in this video?

[@nickbrown6916]

@@jhawver In the beginning I do not think he was saying to make calls there just simply how to make a call. This channel has tons of other videos and they are done correct. This on is odd though.

[@northlandwiffle]

Gotta get an angle in fair territory

[@ConnorsCakedUp]

thanks for the help!

[@jokerlaughs1939]

This video is completely wrong 😑

[@jakevandevoorde5170]

The Base umpire is completely wrong. He should be moving from position A to a 90 degree angle from the throw for the better call. Just FYI everyone.

[@HankC9174]

is this softball ? ump is *inside* the basepaths in baseball and moves on grounders when in A position

[@xyz321123]

Correct but depends on age group, youth baseball no way you are standing inside the base paths, 60-90 yes I agree

[@kidnewyork7947]

They say there is no more a position is this true?

[@MH-Tesla]

No

[@jayr7613]

The 1st part of this video is very wrong lol. You shouldn't be that close to the bag especially being on the line like that

[@ElGatoNegro-fx8zo]

Uh on the first damn play you were in his way. This is false advertising I’m sueing

[@sohanbains3061]

Nice video

[@brannonkelley8147]

This video is wrong

[@myleslewis-ul8vx]

Bruh what are these tips. There kinda bad. Poor kid in the video.
