Please
Mike,
Thank you so much for this information. As you probably know in Italy we are using ISF Umpire System. Though this we are very interested in ASA technical changes, because they often are real achievements for umpires. I have couple of questions for you: First: by “walk the line” you mean the umpire must position one foot on foul territory and the other on fair? And if so, is this the same position a base umpire shall assume with a runner on, also? Second: what do you mean by “one word” mechanic? The only situation I am able to relate to this term is the teaching Henry Pollard gave us talking about enforcement calls (pointing + ONLY ONE word, e.g. “tag” or “swing?” on a check swing, etc.). Sorry to bother you… I would like to learn and to pass this news to Italian umpires… Thanks a lot and in advance for your help Ciao

walk the line .......... still in foul territory, but as the pitch leaves the pitchers hand take a step forward with timing such that as the ball is hit your left foot is down so you can quickly move to where ever you need to go. or something similar ....

For those that might want to print the mechanic changes, they're on ASA's website in a PDF file here.

This quick addition should be indicative of the manner in which information will be passed on the ASA umpires around the country. That's what we were told in Colorado Springs and so far, the ASA has been true to their word.

Wild Bill was the only NUS member that openly supported my argument against the removal of "intent" from the interference rules.
