Hmm,
First, welcome back.
We expect certain things out of our umpires that I am not seeing in this clip.
When a ball is hit to the infield we expect a lot more hustle and movement out of our PU. You really aren't even leaving the dirt circle.
We also require our umpires to keep batters in the batter's box. We remind them not to forget that one foot must always be in the box once an a bat starts.
We would like to see you stay down longer on pitches. This starts with staying down on "Balls." This makes it easier to stay in place long enough when it is a tough strike call.
The funniest thing about your video is right after a guy is called out on strikes the catcher appears to dust off the outside corner of the plate.
I am not trying to be too critical as 85% of what you do looks great! Just concentrate on the details and all else will fall into place.
