Are the mechanics of baseball umpires different for left handed umpires (called 3rd strikes and things of that nature)? Thanks for the information.

No.

For signals between umpires (number of outs, coverage, rotation, etc.) it doesn't really matter what hand you use.

For signals to the players / coaches / fans (out, strike, giving the count), it should be consistent.
