I had an F2 who was reaching way out to catch pitches, and probably missed 3 CI's. It was so hard for me to tell then, because I was so focused on that ball, and couldn't hear the bat nicking the glove.
As you become a better umpire, you begin to use all your senses to make your calls. Now, I can taste when the infield is unsafe to play on due to rain. |

My first baseball game was a LL Majors game (alone). I had already done basketball and slow pitch softball, so at least I had a clue.
I did pretty well for a raw rookie. One of the coaches approached me after the game and told me I did a really good job. I said thank you. He asked me how long I had been umpiring baseball and I told him it was my first game ever. He was genuinely astonished, and told me I looked like I'd been at it a long time. Must have been the softball.
