Umpire Mechanics - Part 1 - Hand Signals to Partner

Understanding Umpire Mechanics means understanding how to communicate with your partner. Umpires use Hand Signals to each other so they are aware of the current situation and what will happen when the ball is in play. In this video Jeff walks through the various signals that umpires will use to communicate with each other and remind each other of the current situation.

You should add the responses expected from the base umpire - to acknowledge the signal was received

Good point Greg.
In my association, umpires generally either:
a) Echo the signals that are given to them as the plate umpire provides them. Or,
b) Touch the tip of their cap at the conclusion of the signals.
If your association uses others, please feel free to provide them!
