Episode 83 - Mechanics Miscues

from Umpiring Fastpitch Softball Hosted by David Trout & Pete Shearer

The article begins, "The following is a list of miscues regarding umpire mechanics which we continue to see in our contests"... ok, we see you, sassy pants! Jokes aside, the things in this article weren't brought up to eat up space in this year's publication. These are things that the senior-level umpires are repeatedly seeing around the state during games that they observe. Take a listen and see if you're guilty of any of these!
