3 man mechanics, rotation on homerun

[Rachel]

If the home run is a bomb and no one goes out on the ball then the rotation would be 1U to home and PU to 3rd. If one of the base umpires goes out then it would be just like the a 2 umpire system.

what manual? could not find it in fed or asa but i guess implied on a fly ball to the outfield.

believe it does say it specifically in NCAA. yes o no?

[DaveASA/FED]

I think in NCAA it says not to chase on a can of corn, or an obvious home run. This is what I have been told, I don't call any NCAA ball. But if this is true and nobody goes out then the rotation would be the same as a ground ball through the infield, PU to 3rd, 1BU to home.

But in ASA and FED anything that has a chance of being caught someone should chase, so then that would leave you with 2 person mechanics and PU would have BR touching home, BU (whichever didn't go out) would take BR all the way to 3rd. Now if for some reason nobody went out, then you would have the same rotation as the ground ball through the middle.

The basic rule of thumb for NCAA, to make it as simple as it can possibly be made is this, if you think that it might present a problem for your PU to call, then you should chase.

That pretty much hits the nail right on the head.

Not really, depends on how good your plate ump is They might have trouble calling a routine fly ball!!!

If "they" are having trouble calling routine fly balls, perhaps further training is needed.
