BU with no one on base is now to play "off" the 2nd baseman. This was sort of dropped in our laps at the clinic and there was a bit of a rift that took about 20-30 minutes to straighten out. And, in my opinion, the entire staff was not behind this change.
They preach the right shoulder, but I prefer and will probably work off the left shoulder. This will eliminate any possibility of F4 getting in my way on a routine infield play (or at least it should).
It was also mentioned that this also gives the base umpire a better view of a ball to the outfield. I know, your all saying, "great! Just as well be a one-umpire game if this guy is going out all the time." Well, that isn't suppose to happen, but try to teach that to some of the folks out there.
