He started calling me Julio and teh name stuck... Ontop of that I am overweight but am a happy go lucky guy and so I responded with "Yeah, but I am sexy *****" and the name Julio Caliente has stuck. As for mechanics in B I like to stand where i can see the pitcher, R1, and the plate all in my field of view. The guy I was working with had his back facing first. His chest was pointing out towards the left field foul pole and there was no way he could turn and make an accurate call on a quick pick. If my mechanics are wrong feel free to correct them. |

You should set up on the imaginary line between the plate and the edge of the pitcher's mound, and be facing the plate directly, with your head turned to watch the pitcher only. Nothing can happen without the baseball, and he is the one holding the baseball. If you are trying to keep one eye on the runner, you are liable to miss a little something called "balks." After the pitcher is committed to home plate, turn your head toward the plate and track the pitch and be ready to move with whatever play occurs. If the pitcher makes a pickoff move, step forward (they like at least two steps, so I go right-left-pivot) and pivot to face first base. For pickoffs at 2nd or 3rd, you need only pivot and face the base to make the call, no stepping forward required. But in two-man mechanics, you set up with your body facing home plate from both "B" and "C." I hope this helps.

Had a RHP pitcher in the windup with R2 and R3. Started his windup, realized he R2 was dancing way off the bag as the pitcher began his windup. F1 brought his non-pivot backwards and forwards legally, held the foot up, then turned and feigned to 2nd base. 6.2 in FED has this as a balk. |

I'd probably balk him in OBR, too - it looks too much like his preliminary motion to the plate. |
