I agree with you about Dale Scott but I don't look to the pros when working on my signals.

how bout u admit that softball and baseball are essentially the same sport. Softball and baseball are about as close as Arena, 6-man, and 11-man football.
btw, i do use softball signals/mechanics when I work softball and baseball stuff when I work baseball. I was just being scarcastic about how baseball doesn't really care too much about how umps signal strikes.
someone here did make an excellent point about the pace of pitches and I guess it's something i haven't noticed too much but now that I think of it, the hammer does have a point (no pun intended) in softball.
