I guess then that you call the opposite pitch a ball? That’s curve that hits the catcher’s mitt when he is set up right in the middle of the zone. I mean, if he can break it off enough to be above the knees and in the dirt when it reaches the catcher, then if it’s right in the middle of the zone or maybe a little of the top half of the zone when caught, it was probably high when it entered the zone. Or is that one of those strikes you try to “steal”.

What's all the fuss with GD stance and locking in good head position and all that crap. Heck, I can have all the movement I want, I just have to see the position of the catchers mitt. That's pretty easy. I don't need to see the pitch cross the plate. Apparently I'm only there to judge mitt location and style.
I'll give you a 5 for mitt location but only a 3 for style. BALL 1
Mitt location good give you a 7 but oh you missed the ball and it hit me 1 for style Ball 2
Great breaking pitch ahh sorry palms up Ball 3
You expected that 2 seamer on the inside not on the outside corner didn't you? shame shame Ball 4
