I know we're on the wrong board for this, but it ended up not being as hard as I thought it would be. (But, in deference to our umpires on the board, still pretty difficult.) I did find some skills carried over - like, for example, keeping your head still. The same reason you don't want to be bouncing around when watching a play in basketball, it made it easier to watch for strikes when I kept my head still. And, of course, hustling to be in position to make a call.
Don't be too impressed with the radio coverage. The local station does a once/week little league game. It wasn't ESPN.
