Maybe in this position our fellow ump wouldn't have been so quick to turn and not follow where the ball went. Those kids are fast and you have to be ready for anything.

Proper footwork is also essential to being in position on any play. Happy feet are a bad thing. You have to use good long quick strides. Learn how to turn with the ball, move to get a good angle, and get set to make your call.

The mechanics that we use in our area is to have the BU in the B position with runners on 1st and 3rd. That is also what the NCAA mechanics say as well.
