Visits to the Mound

What is the policy on how long a manager may remain at the mound when making a change?

The rule book does not set a specific amount of time for the manager to leave the mound at the time of apitching change.  Below are several examples with guidelines for how to handle.

1. Can the manager stay at the mound and watch while the new pitcher warms up? Yes, provided he/she is on his way back to the dugout when the pitcher completes his/her alotted warm up pitches. 

2. After the pitcher finishes warming up, can he/she then meet with the pitcher and give further instructions? If the manager stays at the mound after the warm up pitches are completed, he is now delaying the game and should be charged with a visit.

3. Can the manager meet with the rest of his infield as the new pitcher completes his warm up pitches? This is not a concern, provided the meeting is finished and the manager is on his way back to the dugout when the pitcher completes his/her allotted warm up pitches.

 

As the umpire, you should be counting the number of warm up pitches and informing the pitcher of the ramaining warm up pitches.  By the time there are only two warm up pitches remaining, the manager should be on the way back to the dugout.  Remember: Game Management is the responsibility of the umpires.
