2026-02-04

In this episode, we conclude looking at changes to NCAA 2 umpire mechanics for 2026.

Wrapping up our series, we proceed to work through more of the 2-Person Mechanics Updates published for NCAA crews.

This week we take a look at the following scenarios and what the Plate and Base Umpire should do in each one of them:
* Runner on Third (Hit to Infield)
* Runner on Third (Fly Ball/Line Drive to Infield - ball is caught)
* Runners on first and second, first and third, second and third, or bases loaded (Ball hit to the outfield - ball is caught)
* Runners on first and second, first and third, second and third, or bases loaded (Ball is not caught)
