base umpire positioning
About base umpire positioning, two umpire system.
The manuals and clinics say just off the shoulder of the fielder, 2 -3 steps back, shading toward lead runner. Fielders do play shallow or deep, and left or right of good umpire calling positions. e.g., F4 playing very deep and ¾ of the way to 2nd, or F6 playing even deeper, 10-15 feet from 2nd base to HP/center line How much positioning leeway do you believe or teach or allow?
