A SUMMARY OF UMPIRE PRIORITIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
(2-Umpire Crew, 60’ basepaths)

A Note on “Option A” and “Option B”

Option A is “standard” 60-ft mechanics as taught by LL: PU makes all calls on balls hit to the outfield; BU comes inside for
potential following plays on the bases.
Option B is modeled on 90-ft mechanics: From Position A, BU calls fair/foul at and past 1B on the RF foul line and goes
out on “trouble balls” in RF. When in Positions B or C, BU calls outfield catches in the “V” from F7 to F9.
Umpires need to discuss which system they will use!!!

Plate Umpire – with no runners Plate Umpire – with runners on

1. Balls/Strikes!
2. Fair/Foul:
Option A: Both lines, all the way.
Option B: From home to LF foul pole & from home to but
NOT including 1B (unless BU must clear area)
3. Catch/No Catch in the Outfield:
Option A: All catches in the outfield
Option B: From foul territory on left side to straightaway
F8. If BU goes out on trouble ball, take BR around the
bases.
4. Catch/No Catch in the Infield: Everything except F3, or F4
moving toward the foul line; a pop-up BU must clear.
5. Infield grounders: Runner’s lane interference; the ball on
an overthrow; help on a pulled foot/swipe tag at 1B.
6. Clean hits to the outfield: The ball on an overthrow.
Base Umpire – with no runners
1. Fair/Foul:
Option A: None
Option B: From (and including) the 1B bag to the RF foul
pole.
2. Catch/No Catch in the Outfield:
Option A: None
Option B: F8 turned toward F9; F9; F3 or F4 going back.
Infield – F3 or F4 moving toward you (except on a pop-
up you must clear). Go out on “trouble” balls: F8 & F9
converging, ball on RF line or approaching fence; catch
will be diving or below the knees. Make a clear move –
turn to go (even if you don’t go far) or come in and pivot,
so BU can read what you are doing. If you go out, you
have BR at home, so bust back after making outfield call.
On a pop-up directly above you, come in, pivot, take BR,
PU takes ball
3. Ground balls to the infield: The play at 1B, including a
swipe tag or pulled foot; the BR on an overthrow.
5. Clean hits to the outfield: All plays on the BR except at
home, BR’s touch of all bases.
1. Balls/Strikes -- always first priority!
2. Fair/Foul: Both lines, all the way.
3. Catch/No Catch in the Outfield:
Option A: All catches in the outfield
Option B: F7 or F9 going toward the foul line.
4. Catch/No Catch in the Infield: Anything in front of the
rubber; an infielder turned toward and nearing a foul line.
5. Any batted ball: A play at home.
6. The ball on an overthrow.
7. Batter interference on F2 throws to catch a stealing
runner/pick off a runner.
8. Possible plays at 3B:
With R1, or R1 & R3 and R3 scoring easily (glance for
the touch), a play on R1 coming into 3B.
With R1 & R2 only, R2 coming into 3B after retouching.
BUT, in either case, you may have to instead stay on
the RF foul line to call fair/foul.
Communicate with BU!
9. On a run-down (if you can leave the plate): The 1B or
3B end.
10. Retouches of 3B; touches of home, of 3B.
Base umpire – with runners on
1. Fair/Foul: None
2. Catch/No Catch in the Outfield:
Option A: None
Option B: Everything except F7 or F9 going toward the
foul line. You cannot go into the outfield, but must move
inside the diamond and take any play on the bases.
3. Catch/No Catch in the Infield – Everything except in front of
the rubber or an infielder turned away from you and close to
a foul line.
4. Infield grounders: All plays on the bases, including both
ends of a double play or a throw back across the infield after
a play at 1B (unless PU tells you he is taking R1 at 3B).
5. Hits to the outfield: All plays on the bases unless, with R1
only or R1 & R3 only and R3 scoring easily, or with R1 & R2
only and R2 retouching, PU tells you he is taking R1 at 3B.
6. All plays on the bases on steals, pick-offs, throws to double
off runners retreating after catch.
7. Rundowns: The entire play unless/until PU takes one end.
8. All retouches, all touches, of 1B and 2B.
