If you move to the hammer and think your timing is "rushed", then you are probably one of those guys that comes out of your stance too soon.  |
One thing I've never been accused of is rushing my calls when working the plate. I'm down, track the ball, judge ball or strike and either announce 'ball' and pause before rising, or rise and verbalize 'strike' (or something like that) while pointing.
When I say I feel rushed it's because I'm hammering as I'm rising, not waiting until I'm upright.
