really?
 

Can't tell for sure with only one frame but from the catcher's stance, glove and hand position, etc, it looks like the ball just got caught and he (F2) is looking out to check the status of a runner, so we don't know where the PU was at the start.

If that is so his position must have changed at the time of the ball crossing the plate. As shown, he is too low in his stance.

:D
If he changed placed with the catcher he could call the pitches, too. And nobody would notice they changed places...

The Ying-Yang Twins don't even get that low.

It look more like a rules encyclopedia he's toting around.

Nice "speed skater" hand position.:rolleyes:

Very comical.

At - or after. Moving after is not unusual.

What should the eye level be with the various stances?

Are you sure that's not a whisk broom in his pocket?

He looks young. Might be a comic book. Or the cliff notes of "Umpiring For Idiots". Yes, I've read it....:p

JJ

Oh, I don't know... his height is perfect for a U10 game.

Looks like this is a young umpire who used to be (or still is) a catcher.

Give him a couple of years and his knees won't be able to do that.

I downloaded the picture and tried zooming and sharpening and couldn't tell what it is.

That was my first thought. Looks like one to me...

It's a Reader's Digest. Gotta have something to do during those long breaks between half-innings.......
