At another clinic, we were doing plate work. I set up with my eyes at the top of the strike zone. One instructor told me that I was setting up too low. Later that day, another instructor told me I was setting up too high!  |
ive never understood the whole walking the line concept
from pg 246 of the 2011 ump manual
"walk the line by taking one or two steps toward home plate, pushing off with your left foot to move off the foul line when the ball is batted"
for groundballs to an IFer, why do i have to walk 1-2 steps down the line then move into position to make the call at 1B? why not just move into position right away?
