Great video I learned a lot .... After watching this a ton of times I'm really seeing that by keeping your eyes and head still and track that ball all the way into the catchers glove it's much easier to see if it's a ball or strike... especially when that catchers glove drops, rises, inside, or outside...Pretty cool... I hope you guys put more videos up Thank you for sharing I really appreciate it!

Good timing, good presence, good game management. Pro job. Only suggestion I might have is to try to use "Please" and "Thank you" when you're talking to players and coaches. For example, "Hitter, please keep one foot in the box between pitches" and when he complies, "Thank you."

true theres always a balance of commuincation when setting an example of how to communicate with respect, but you also have to not be too accomodating becasue thy will interpret that as weakness most of the time again, its about balance. I woudl say something like, if you would, or, please , if you would, just keep one foot in the box between pitches, it helps everyone and keep the flow of the game clean and at a good pace... Its nice to catch them between innings sometimes if you can and you can mention things when thy'er not trying to concentrate on offense of defense. or something that happens a lot when you're A position on field..... "Hey bud, hold that foot on the bag a bit more for me to record the out. Thank you. its all in how you say it.

Why is everyone lighting this Umpire up? I think he’s fairly solid on his calls and timing. Everyone saying that turning his head to call strikes is bad, but you can clearly see at least one other ump behind first base, and behind the pitcher, so if he turns his head other umps are there to see any plays. Also it’s not bad to tell the batter to stay near the box, I used to be told that when I played cause a batter may attempt to delay the game. Honestly I think he did nice.
@kyleh1919

they're now training to keep your head towards the field of play with runners on, only with bases empty do they allow a head turn for called strikes. however, with more umpires I'm sure that becomes more and more relaxed. keeping batters closer to the box is something I need to work on

With a three man system turning your head to make a call isn't terrible. Not turning your head is important when you're alone because you could miss a play. The idea is that you should always be facing where plays happen. If there is a possible play at the plate, do not turn away. For the most part, even on strike three, it is best to not turn from the field.

It's a plate, not a bag. That's also not what he's commenting on, he's commenting on the fact that this umpire is so delayed making a show of his strike calls that the runner gets halfway up the line. As an umpire you shouldn't have to call someone back to the plate. Get the strike call out fast, then do the signal.

Say "THREE BALLS NO STRIKES" not "3 and 0" and signal first 3 fingers not last 3 fingers. Dont say stay in the box over and over, warn the team, and act accordingly. This guy is overly dramatic it seems. His zone is questionable.
