PBUC is teaching their umpires on the AA level (the first time professional umpires work 3-man crews) that they want their umpires going
at least to a 90-degree angle and, if time allows, a step
beyond that point.
Not posting this to argue with you JRut...just putting "it out there" what is being taught to tomorrow's major league umpires the first time they are working on the professional level with more than a 2-umpire crew.
