Finally got to see the video yesterday, at our first local ASA meeting. Thoroughly enjoyed it and found it to be a great training tool.
I agree that visual aids can be a tremendous help in teaching. Which brings me to something I noticed when our "Umpire Edition" rule books arrived last month...
While the updated umpire information is well-organized and presented, noticably absent are the usual field diagrams showing umpire positioning and movement. Yet in several places the text refers to "the following diagrams" and even includes a "key" explaining that in the (non-existent) diagrams "P" = "Plate Umpire", "B" = "Base Umpire", etc.
I always found the diagrams to be quite helpful. That they are referenced in the text numerous times leads me to believe that they were intended to still be there and that their omission was an editorial gaffe.
