Yea, the belt I had on was brown. I had forgotten my black belt that day. Oops. Also realize I had the bag on too far forward.

I see the deal with the left hand. Our assigner has told us a good signal to use on a dropped third strike is to point at the batter instead of just an "out" signal. And since the batter was to my left, I used my left hand. However, on this play and on a lot of caught third strikes where I would have called the pitch a ball, I've been pointing even though the ball was caught. It's definitely something I need to correct, a bad mechanic that comes with inexperience. Hopefully I can correct it before it becomes a habit.

I'm not beating myself up, I just wanted to see where you guys thought the ideal position would be for this particular play.

Thanks for the input.

Todd
