I am sure no expert on this but have been told by umps that call at this level on the pitcher stepping outside the "H" is that you dont call it at this level that it is impossible to see the step and the ball the fraction of the second the pitch comes in and if you are going to error and stay calling at this level it better be missing the step going out of the "H" over what is happening to the ball at the plate.

Did also note the male commentor "Balk" call and notice he seemed lost when the runner got awarded a base.

Also in the OU vs Mich game there was a call at 1st which after slow mo replay it looked that the BU missed the call but I thought it was very unfair for ESPN to rerun the play several times while the announcer were saying the ump blew that one then the camara did a close-up on the ump. Very uncalled for in my opinion
