The “Uncaught Third Strike” Mechanic is used by the Plate Umpire when the batter becomes a runner due to the third strike not being caught with first base unoccupied or two outs. There are four possibilities that can occur with an Uncaught Third Strike: Obvious, No Catch, No Tag, and Tag. This video will cover the Tag possibility.

If you have not watched the “Out” mechanic video, you may want to do so prior to watching this video. At the completion of this video, you should be able to perform the “Uncaught Third Strike” mechanic in a tag situation according to Little League Standards.
