And what do you do when the ball is low in the dirt or high over the catcher?

The "moving camera" analogy is bogus as it relates to a pitched ball. If you are in a proper stance, there is no need to move the head to track until the ball has already entered/missed the strike zone. That is assuming you have a good view of the strike zone and not using the location of the catcher's glove to make the call
