KBLUA has a lot of new umpires, and KBLUA felt to better train and evaluate these umpires we needed a
Mechanics manual to follow so KBLUA chose NFHS 2 and 3 Man Mechanics Manual as a reference guide
and evaluation.
There will be areas in the book that may contradict our Philosophies and these will be addressed and
shared with the members as we come across them. If there is anything that any of our members feel
should be addressed then please email Bob Craig [email protected]) the
specific mechanic in question and KBLUA as a board will address this concern ASAP and report back as to
the final solution.
This manual is a teaching tool chosen by KBLUA for all umpires, KBLUA knows that we have member
umpires that have and still work at a Higher Level than youth baseball. It is the hope of KBLUA that all
members will work from the Mechanics being taught. KBLUA also understands that when two higher
level experienced umpires work together they may use mechanics other than these being taught by
KBLUA.
It is the hope of KBLUA that all members will work together to not only improve youth baseball
throughout the state but also improve the quality of the umpiring as a whole.
