Fed Ball.... You're the BU...
Is there a check list (flow chart) of things you mentally/visually/physically go through from the start of one pitch to the start of the next pitch?
I'm the PU.... Batter in bunt position... The pitch... I have a ball. Defense appeals... I go to my partner... "Did she go?" My partner shrugs his shoulders and says he didn't see it... Of course the defensive coach had a few well defined phrases for him.... We both learned what not to say after that episode.
We have a small association and we, newbies, get thrown to the wolves frequently.. It's sink or swim and we're doing our best to keep our noses above the water.
So when the pitcher gets the ball do you have a check list like...
1. F1 has the ball?
Yes-What are runners doing? No-What are runners doing?
Yes-All runners on bags
No-All runners heading to a base
3. Pitch leaves hand.. all runners still on bags but leaving on time
4. Ball passes by batter
Yes- Ball, strike, hit, fair, foul
No-
I hope you get the idea! Thanks!
