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  |
What do I do when the ball is low in the dirt or high over the catcher? I call the pitch a ball (unless the batter swings), what do you do? I can see the ball go low in the dirt & high above F2 without moving my head, can't you?
When the pitch is good I track it, with my eyes, all the way into F2's mitt, how do you do it? Do you stop tracking the ball as soon as it crosses the plate & make your call? I personally like to wait until a couple of seconds after I see the ball reach F2's mitt before I make my call.
Do you track the ball with your eyes then as it crosses the plate you start moving your head to track the ball?
Please explain your plate mechanics to me, I am always interested in learning different ways of working the plate. IMHO (and maybe the opinion of a few others) there is no need to move your head to track the the ball!
