The pause is a rubber crutch. It does not provide time to see or evaluate a pitch. It that wasn't done by the proper use of the eyes, it cannot be done by pausing.
I know a pause was taught for years to amateur umpires, mostly by amateur umpires. Never the less, it is BS.
One does not have to be a master to work correctly. That's another crutch.
