· When not doing Daily Training you will be responsible for umpiring, running charts, running the music, and chasing foul balls. Also making sure the pitcher has a ball to pitch with on foul balls. Get these from the PreGame Ball bucket.
Catchers
· When on Defense you will catch the pitcher on the field or warm-up a catcher in the bullpen.

· If you are not catching in the game you are catching bullpen, warm-up pitcher for both teams if necessary.
· Never leave the bullpen if you are warming up a pitcher to hit in the intrasquad game, wait until another catcher arrives. You will hit next for your team if you miss your turn at bat.
