I had an F2 who was reaching way out to catch pitches, and probably missed 3 CI's. It was so hard for me to tell then, because I was so focused on that ball, and couldn't hear the bat nicking the glove.
As you become a better umpire, you begin to use all your senses to make your calls.
Now, I can taste when the infield is unsafe to play on due to rain.
