Since our association went to three-man crews for the Legion season we have found:
1. Fewer controversial fair/foul calls.
2. Better outfield (catch/no catch) coverage. (One man always goes out with no runners on)
3. Better and fewer controversial calls on pick-off attempts at first.
4. Better views and enforcement of balks.
5. Fewer controversial calls on steals at second.
I definitely believe that three-man mechanics, provided that the crew undestands and performs their mechanics properly, is significantly superior to two-man.
We use four man at tournaments and play-offs. Again, I believe that properly executed, it is a superior mechanic, however, the increase in performance experienced with four-man over three-man is not as great as that of three-man over two-man.
