More Than 100 Problems With the Official Baseball Rules
PBUC Umpire Manual
Manual for the Two-Umpire System (The RED Book)
Any of you guys have a preference for which would help me the most?
TIA.

PBUC Umpire Manual covers 3 and 4 man mechanics but not 2 man. It also has a lot of interpretations not found in the rule book. The Red Book thoroughly covers two man.
More than 100 Problems is about rules not mechanics so if you are interested in mechanics stick to the other two.
Another excellent mechanics manual, almost entirely devoted to mechanics, is the CCA Umpires Manual. It covers, 2, 3, 4, and 6 man mechanics.
