I have been umpiring for 8 yrs now. Every year its gets easier. Like my friend and colleague Roland I am a self taught umpire. I have never attended a clinic or 6 week school although I intend to.
This year at our organization clinic Roland himself pointed out to me during plate drill that I was not tracking the ball all the way into the glove with my eyes. My stance and timing were good, and my head was still. But my eyes wandered at the last second.
Help me! I work hard every game to correct this but I still find myself losing track of the ball after it crosses the plate. How do I correct this? Advice please.
Mike
