3-man mechanics
 

Okay, I admit, I haven't worked a 3-man system in many years. If fact, the last time I think I did, I was pretty green. Now years later, I'm in a situation where I have to work a 3 man system on Saturday. To better prepare myself, I've done some internet searches for a refresher on the basic mechanics.

Most of it seems pretty logical, but I've never before noticed that the "inside' official stays behind the infielders.:eek: Is this something new? Something wrong (the information I got may be bad)? Or did I just miss it "back in the day?"

Noticed where? That's a new one to me!

Inside umpire is in "F" "E" or "C" ..... those positions are in front (unless the infield is drawn in, of course).

This is where I found it:

Maybe this is softball????

Yep....the 'responsibilities for runners leaving before the pitch is released' section gives that away :D

If you're working softball then you've found the correct information.

It's not baseball mechanics.
