Just a little bit of happy feet on the first clip which I think is actually titled clip 3...or the wild pitch.

The umpire was set for your call, but some unnecessary bouncing around. 

Nice call on the one where the kid lifted his left arm to swim the tag. 

Good clips. At the amateur level consider maybe a little more depth...some might say the umpire is a tad close. 

 

@johnnyg08Im rereading this cause of some new replies. When you say "at the amateur level" consider more depth...can you elaborate? Are you trying to say the higher the level the closer you could/should get to a play? Or am I just reading way to deep into it? (also a very good possibility lol)

With this play, I would say that staying on F1's hip would have PU rotating from around 3BLX to the left side of the catcher's box for the best look into the wedge.

A quick deliberate stride to the left should be enough to get to where you can get an unobstructed view of the tag/no tag and touch/no touch.

 

he would not be able to get in the wedge on f1 hip.. the throw would have come and cause him to have a rapid head movement. He would be must better straight down on the catcher box line on the left side,
