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

I once heard a trainer tell a student, "There are no lefthanded umpires".

1. Right hand = Strikes - Outs.
2. Left hand = Balls.

Same for all so the fans, for whom the signals where really created have a consistent set of signals.
