r/Umpire

▲ 3 r/Umpire

Would like suggestions. Little league majors division. Batter throw his bat after hit. I warn him and his manager as a teaching moment.

He throws his bat again on his next at bat. I warn again but other manager mentions to me that he should be ejected.

I've read some rules that state he should be ejected. Welcome how you guys recommend for future

Are there any mechanics/manuals that teach A-position to be inside the foul line?

I work with a few different Little Leagues in my area and I've been running into many youth umpires this year that are setting up on the inside of the foul line. The most recent kid was telling me he used to set up outside but was told by a previous partner that he needed to be inside as that's the proper position.

I know it's outside because I've read the Little League manual and instruct at the district clinic in the spring, so no question for me where the proper position is.

I'm assuming someone just read a diagram wrong, but this isn't like a slow pitch softball or kickball mechanic or something leaking its way in is it?
