In a situation like you described, it is a good mechanic to go to your partner immediately for a check swing. This is a mechanic we use in higher level ball when you have a passed ball on a check swing of any kind. This will prevent a situation like you had, with a coach creating chaos, plus giving him the opportunity to take a stroll down memory lane. You do not need to wait for the catcher to ask you to check. This is also a good mechanic to employ on a 3/2 count on a check. Don't wait, go right away. Let it go and move on. It is how we learn
