Take each pitch one at a time -- if you really do tank one, don't carry it into the next pitch; even the guys in MLB make mistakes! (A good friend in MLB says that he works for a perfect game but understands that 3-4 per game could be wrong)
Follow the pitch into the glove -- it really helps to avoid the low mistake.
Set up with your head at the top of tha catcher's. You find the top of the zone very easily.
Let the catcher and batter assist you when possible (they tend to send messages with their body language)
Delay your call --- see it into the glove and replay it, THEN call it.
Keep your chin up --- it's the guys who care and work to improve that are the winners in the long run. Good luck moving up to HS ball when you're ready.
