I got bored with the Bos/Det game last night so I surfed to ESPN2 and caught some of the Eastern Regionals. I noticed that every swinging strike was "pointed to" then signaled.

The PU would point to the batter with his left hand then signal the strike with his right. Is this some new mechanic being taught? Is only a LL thing? Personally, I think that it is just another wasted signal!

By the way, I only use that mechanic on a check swing. I point to the batter with my left hand and say "Yes, you went" then signal the strike with my right.
