Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Baseball Umpires Guidebook Volume I, Proper Positioning the first of three landmark baseball umpiring guidebooks published by Referee Books and NASO is now available in a newly updated edition. "This manual has a simple purpose," stated original author Mark Ambrosius when the first edition was introduced in 1993, "To provide a framework for amateur baseball umpire training. The positions, mechanics and theories included on these pages are time proven principles currently taught and used by umpires in professional baseballs minor leagues, occasionally supplemented or altered to fit the situations unique to amateur games. These principles work because they consistently guide umpires to the proper position to see all of each play."
Referee editor Bill Topp agrees: "Many associations have used this manual as the textbook for new umpire training. Time has proven weve reached two important audiences with this book: Veteran umpires who want a clean solid reference work they can use as a refresher before and during each season; and, new umpires who are trying desperately to figure out where to stand and why," Topp comments in the new Introduction.
"For the latest edition weve extended the scope of Ambrosius work to include additional guidance for amateur umpires, specifically incorporating mechanics found mostly on college fields, Topp writes. "Whether youre using professional, minor league mechanics, follow NCAA-prescribed procedures, or are influenced by NFHS mechanics, this book will offer you specific perspectives and guidelines to help you in your next games."
