My routine for every game is to stand just behind the 3b line, about 20 feet from the plate and watch the pitcher for 3 pitches. As the catcher is throwing the 4th pitch back I put my mask on, walk up to the catcher tell him 4 more and get behind him. I then take 2 pitches, signal 2 more to the pitcher, take 1 more and then come out from behind with brush in hand to watch the catcher take the last one from about 8 feet up the 3b line. If he don't know I am behind him for those three pitches it's going to be a long day because he is too dumb to catch. I generally only do it for the starting pitcher for home team.
