Softball Field Mechanics
 
I am just looking for a quality website that will outline positioning and mechanics in the field for softball umps. I have been doing baseball for a long time and have scheduled for high school softball this summer. Anything would help. Thank you.

Are you going to be calling slow pitch, fast pitch or modified? 3-umpire mechanics or 2?

Isn't high school ball over in a week or two, if not already? You mean 14U-18U rec league? Tournaments? Will it be ASA, Fed or PONY? All three have their own mechanics.

You would think that would interfere with the corn harvest :D

No, them football and volleyball players handle the harvest well during the fall. Summer finds them to doing the detassling and rouging during the mornings, if they're still awake after a night game. ;)

Because we don't like playing baseball in the snow.

And we do love playing slow-pitch softball in the snow in Iowa! :D
