That is the primary rule of umpiring. On these pages
are videos of umpires, baseball plays, and softball plays.. Watch them to see what
you can see and to learn from what takes place. Standard
softball abbreviations are used for these scenarios.
Your comments are welcome. Use the "Post a comment" link below each video.
Each umpire develops their
own style. Perhaps we could do well to film ourselves and
see what we really look like.

Video Compliments of JJ at NUS
This video is not for the "highlights" - watch the
umpire mechanics. Several times the umpires
are still
moving while making calls. Come set, make your call.
When going out on a hit, Parallel the ball and come set to make
your call.
