I have volunteered to umpire tomorrow's Little League game.
yes to a 3rd base umpire or a 1st base umpire but right after the check swing
nope. i wish!
The MLB Rule says:6.02(a): The batter shall take his position in the batter's box promptly when it is his time at bat.6.02(c): If the batter refuses to take his position in the batter's box during his time at bat, the umpire shall order the pitcher to pitch, and shall call "Strike" on each such pitch.So there's no rule that says how long the batter has to step into the batter's box, only that he do it "promptly." But as an umpire, I can tell you the umpire will not put up with much messing around on the batter's part. If he tells the batter to step in, and he doesn't, the batter will get penalized.
No.
there are 9 players not including a batter or a umpire.
yes
what qualification are needed by scientists
No it is up to the plate umpire if he wants assistance from the base umpire. Even if you request it he can deny that request and make the call himself.
There are no qualifications needed, only sufficient experience to get the job.
