low outside corner
wobster wrote -- I gotta ask, has anyone using the GD stance been criticized for calling the low outside pitch? I am thinking of switching from the box to the GD after reading childress's articles, but I am worried that that low outside ball that always got called ON me by my umpires will start getting called BY me. How easy is it to see low balls?--
This stance has helped me become more consistent on the low and away pitch. I have had catchers comment about my consistency on that pitch, compared to other umpires. I feel like I rarely miss this pitch anymore. Before I started using the GD, my bottom outside corner was a crap shoot.
