Can any of you recommend any drills or practice techniques I can use to help get back in the saddle? I was never really concerned about this in the past working youth games, because after a couple games I had re-found my consistent zone.
However, this is my first year calling FED,I only have four fresh/soph games assigned, so I need to hit the ground running. Like they say, you make your name behind the plate, so I want to make a good impression and hopefully get more games as the season progresses. (My first game I'm partnered with a D-I umpire, and I'm sure he's there to evaluate me for the association.)
And, please, don't suggest studying the rules or case books, etc--I'm starting to see sitches in my sleep!
Forgot to mention: I do have access to a couple of indoor batting cages, so any ideas there would be welcome.
