also with this you have to accept if there is aau ball being played because the umpire stands inside the diamond for 10 and over because of leading off and pick off plays. while 9 year olds he stands outside of the diamond for leading off to early.

it all depends on the age group and rules in question. each age group or set of rules could bring up a different answer.

so is it aau/fed, babe ruth/cal ripkin, dixie youth, tar heel, or little league? what ages are the kids? all these are factors to render a proper positioning of the field umpire.

i would say that if there is no leading off then you should be outside, if there are leading off then you should be inside. other than that i can not answer your question without a further response with clarifications
