Prioritized
Had to prioritize the play:
1. Runner at third was tieing run...coach was smart enough that if he saw me moving towards the circle he would have had her leave early on a potential catch...only person who can call that is me, right?
2. Yeah, I wish I would have been able to move to circle, but I have to wait for the runner to hit the plate first.
As for the level, I would have thought the same thing. 2-0 and 6-5. Both teams have beaten NCAA Division II teams this year. One team had 39 straight shutout innings headig into the game. That's good at any level. One team had two pitchers recruited by Division I schools. So the level of ball was actually pretty good. First game took 1:20, second 1:40, both going seven full. That's pretty good at any level!
You mention that your first responsibility is to watch the pitch in your "another example." Then you say you would adjust your stance a little bit if you thought the runner was leaving early. You've just changed your look at the strike zone, in effect making catching a runner leaving early more important than the pitch.
Are you sure you are prioritizing, or looking for outs? Just starting conversation, not an attack!
