All of us will have different opinions on how to best help a new guy. Don't spend the BIG BUCKS on HI-Tec equip. That way if you give it up..you didn't spend a bunch of money on stuff in the closet.
.
Mechanics & Rules. Study the American League rules..unless your doing school ball this is a good start. Set up on the inside corner of the plate and remember "you are not a statue" you can move with the pitch !. Don't get on your knee. Don't get crouching until the pitcher starts his wind up..this will save your back & legs over the course of a long game this will come in handy. Volunteer to do some pre-season scrimmage games just to get the experience. Get an Ump with BB experience to work with you on mechanics. Don't get too close to the play if you are working by yourself. Just keep asking questions.
