60-foot diamond positioning question
I'm working the bases tomorrow night for a U11 summer playoff game, and I've never done the bases on a small diamond before. Where do I stand when I'm in B or C? On the infield grass like I would on a 90-foot diamond? Or behind the infielders because it gets too "crowded" otherwise?
This town usually just uses 1 umpire behind the plate for 60-foot diamond games, but I did work one game with 2 umpires in which I had the plate. The BU was positioning himself in the outfield in B and C, and it seemed like he was miles away on any call at first. Especially from C.
