Why don't you impart some of your wisdom on this subject? Don't take me as beinga smart a**...., OK maybe I am, but seriously, what would you do? Would you call a strike if he/she leaves the bat out there or would it be a ball, and waht things would you use to determine what your decision is? Alot of us "inexperienced" officials come to this site because we aren't sure, other think they know, but until one tells us how it is really supposed to be called we will continue to call it incorrectly. For example, in basketball, after you have established a pivot foot you may pick that foot up as long as you pass or shoot the ball before you return your pivot foot to the floor. If you dribble it is a traveling violation. Until about 5-6 years ago I called this traveling every time, I learned that it was incorrect from people that would definately know and now I no longer call that incorrectly. Just a little input from the ones that are supposed to know would be nice.

If the bat remains still, it's a ball if not in the strike zone, or a strike if in the strike zone. The bat MUST MOVE toward the ball to be considered a swing.
