Did a really good high school game on Saturday. Championship of local school, 8 team, mid season tournament. Both teams went into the game unbeaten and had their #1 pitchers going for them. Game went 14 innnings with the home team winning 2-1 and the home pitcher having 18 SO. My question is from my post game discussions with my partner. Who happens to be the local associations game assigner. Good, positive comments about my plate position and other mechanics but said that he would recommend adjusting any voice deflections on a really close "ball" call. I have been taught to maybe hold my slot postition after a really close ball/strike call to maybe try and give the impression, to those peering eyes, that I had gotten a really good look at the ball as it had passed thru or out of the zone. And also to possible give a little more "positive" ball call on the really close ones. My partner thought that a more "even" call would be more effective. Any thoughts???, ideas???
