Catch Out
Yes Out
No Safe
Trap Safe


If the play requires some description:

Off the base, safe
No control, safe
Tag, out (only when a bad throw pulls the fielder away from a force out)
No catch (only when a defender is trying to sell it as a catch)

Just a few. Sometimes, one word just doesn't do it.

Absolutely ! Often one word is not enough and an explanation is needed.

Mike I would recommend to you though, that the most important part of the call is the safe or out and that the explanation is secondary....

My recommendation is to make the out or safe call first, and then give the explanation of trap, or off the bag, or whatever...

Same for a strike call on the 'not-so-checked' swing. "Strike; you went."
