Four man mechanics

Agree with Skahtboi

No need for anything more than what they have. It is cake. If you know three man then you know four man. Hardest part is making yourself stay put when you are on the bases.

There are some coverages that aren't that straight forward; little subtle nuances. For example: R1 on third, less than two outs. Fly ball on left field line, and R1 tags and goes home. F2 receives the ball before the runner arrives and makes a great tag. And the out is called by . . . ?

PU, the same umpire who would have made it in the 3, 2 or 1 umpire system.

Isn't that call made by the OC in the 1 umpire system?

Well, no, Brian is right that there are differences, but just a matter of being aware of each situation and who, if anyone is the umpire heading out on a fly ball.

Once you get that down, then the rotation is the same. The problem is when you go from 4-umpires to 2-umpires on a fly ball?

You would think some people would get upset, but when it has happened, we end up laughing at each other. Of course, the PU is a little PUed
