  1. 3 MAN MECHANICS

  2. GENERAL PRINCIPLES • If you go out on a fly ball, STAY OUT; system reverts to 2 man; • Check swings appeals go to U1 on right handed batter and U3 on left handed batter no matter where he is; • U3 has the interference call at 2nd on a double play; • Move, go out on fly balls; PLATE should rarely stay planted at the plate; • Cover partners if a rotation is missed; • Communicate a lot; • Have an umpire ahead of the play versus following the play.
