Episode 7: 2-Man Mechanics
In this episode we break down base umpire positioning in the two-man system — where to be, when to be there, and why it matters.
What we cover:
- Position A, B, and C — the right spot for every runner situation
- Angle over distance — the rule that wins when you can't have both
Positioning is visual. Follow along with the MechaniGram diagrams in the 2025-2026 NFHS Baseball Umpires Manual, available at store.referee.com.
That's Strike 3 is built for baseball umpires around three pillars: Mental Game, Craft, and Rules Knowledge.
