Developing a BU mindset

[bkbjones]

IMHO, and from 25+ years of experience in baseball, the BU in softball works much harder.

You've already received sound advice to study the umpire's manual. Study it, then study it some more.

You'll find that you can't do the ol' slow turn on the double play. If you do, you'll completely miss the play at first.

Many baseball umpires I see today look like they are right on top of the play on tags, etc. Work on angles, distances, and being set. Work parallel to runners...on and on. Study, ask questions here in the forum, then study some more.
