The "C" Position for Base Umpires

Video Transcript

"Alright in this clip we're going to go over the third position. Umpires call it the C position. The C position is when there's a man on first and second or just second. The reason he's in this position is so he can get a good call on the third base or back to second base. He also watches the bases, makes sure every player hits every base from this position. Now, same thing. If he needs a close place going into third base he runs into the play as close as possible. To the bag and the players. And he can get a good line at what's happening right in front of him. That's the C position. Now don't forget infield fly rule. That's the position. That's the position. When there's a man on first, second or third the infield fly rule's called. That means the guy can't drop the ball on purpose and still throw the guy out. Infield fly rule you run at your own risk."
