Sorry for the lack of clarification. I am referring only to indicating that the batter DID swing at the ball.
Page 187 of this year's ASA book in the fourth paragraph under Check Swing Situations it states the umpire is to indicate a swing by "pointing at the batter with the left hand for right handed batters or the right hand for left handed batters".
As previously stated, I do not understand the purpose or, for that matter, why there is even a concern to make this a given mechanic.
Seems to me, common sense would be that if you are executing a signal with the right hand, you point with the left. Does anyone have an umpire edition 2003 rule book? I would like to see if this was in the manual that year.
