Episode 77 - NCAA 2 Umpire Mechanics Changes pt 2

2026-01-28

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

Continuing from last time, we proceed to work through more of the 2-Person Mechanics Updates published for NCAA crews.

This week, we talk about fly ball coverage responsibilities overall. Then, we move onto specific scenarios for Plate and Base like:
* No Runners On - ball hit to OF and not caught
* Runner on First - same situation
* Runner on Second - hit to the infield
* Runner on Second - fly ball / line drive to the infield, ball is caught
* Runner on Second - fly ball / line drive to the outfield, ball is caught
