With no one on, if the batter is LH, I will stay on the foul side of the 1B foul line. It might not be correct, but I can see almost everything in front of me. If the BR advances past 1B, I will be busting butt to get to second.

If I have runners on, or the batter is RH, I will exit to the left and go up the 3B foul line as far as I need to in order to see around all the bodies in front of the circle. This will also get me closer to a second play at 2B or 3B.

If it is a squeeze, I am pretty much staying in the holding zone so I can get back to make the call at the plate.

EVERY league game is one umpire.

The Women's 23U league we assign is one umpire. Very low key, but we need a second umpire on those games.
