Voice and signal at the same time is the school way for BASEBALL. Which is why it didn't seem unusual to me, I guess.
As someone considering working HS fastpitch games next season (I have a license that I maintain cause I assign and....you never know) it's great to see. My timing is a bit slower than his, but he did an amazing job for having to call so many pitches. I doubt after so long I could split the verbal and the signal without feeling goofy about it.
