Question
where do you stand when there is a runner on 1st and 3rd base when umping?
Cory,
On the assumption that there are two umpires for the game, I stand midway between 1st and 2nd. That puts you in position for the most probably plays - assists at 2nd and 1st.
The home umpire can handle the duties around that bag.
Hope this helps!
Brian
