A couple of questions. First, do you consider it acceptable when you are making a routine safe or out call, to make the vocal call in the set position with hands on knees or thighs and then coming up and giving the safe or out signal? I have seen umpires do this and tried it and liked it. The NFHS umpire manual says to do them both at the same time but I prefer making the verbal call firstand then coming up. In calling strikes the manual says you may verbalize in the set position and then come up and show the sign. Second question. Does anyone that is PU put their hands behind their thighs when they go to the set position for the pitch, to protect their hands? I have seen many different approaches to this I was thinking about experimenting with this. Where do you find you hands are the safest? Dave
