Selling the outside pitch
I see some agree that if the catcher reaches far for the outside pitch then it is a ball. It saves so much grief not calling the reach out pitch. I even tell the catcher that I will give the outside pitch if he can help me sell it. In exibition or practice games I will go to the coach and tell him that the catcher is setting up inside and losing the call because of the reach. The coaches really appreciate the information.
