KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-2: -3 letter answer(s) to official behind a catcher UMP. an official at a baseball game.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most understand that a catcher has to remain in the box behind home plate until the pitch is thrown; that is the reason why catchers hold out their hand/glove on an intentional walk rather than simply setting up behind the opposing batter’s box.

Detailed explanation-4: -A lot of the positioning depends on personal preference and comfort. Wherever it is located, the key is to keep it hidden from foul balls. Many young players are taught to keep the hand behind their back. I’m not a fan of this position because it tends to throw off a catcher’s balance too much.

Detailed explanation-5: -All baseball fans have a favorite team. Those favorite teams have backup catchers. Unlike backup quarterbacks, backup catchers typically play only in day games after night games, on Sundays (they’re often called “NFL players” because they play once a week), or are the preferred catchers of a team’s top pitcher.
