You need to do what is right as the base umpire. You don't deviate from proper mechanics because of your partner's poor mechanics.

Umpires don't learn mechanics when someone else substitutes and covers.

Speak with the umpire, ask him how far up his a$$ his head was. He shouldn't be standing directly behind home plate to begin with. The ball has to go 200 feet out and 200 feet back, and the umpire probably didn't take 1 step for every 100 feet the ball traveled.
