Assignor asks we to do a 12U game a couple of days ago. Partner shows up. Its a guy that has been around 2-3 years but has never worked a game with a partner. All he has worked is 8u pitching machine games.
He had no clue! but he actually did a good job making the safe/out calls.
He is in C and the batter hits a grounder down the first base line. The ball is "Foul"
Partner starts yelling "Foul Ball" "Foul Ball" and pointing "foul".
Partner in "A" Fly ball to right fielder who camps under the ball. Partner starts calling the out before the ball gets to the fielder. Fielder bobbles the ball. Partners starts calling "safe" Fielder regains control and catches the ball. Partner then calls the Out.
He seemed willing to learn. Asked questions during the game. And we had a long post-game.
This is the type of new guy I am willing to work with. Good Hustle. Willing to learn.
