I had similar comments early in my career, so I had a fellow blue video me calling pitches at a practice, from behind the pitcher, and then also from high in the bleachers behind me.

I then watched it - it was helpful. I grant that this view is not ideal, but it did show me that I was a bit loose in the middle of the outside zone and too tight at the bottom of the outside zone. Can't hurt.
