The requisite pause for the set position.

If you time your positioning as the plate umpire so that as the pitcher moves from his stretch to his pause in the set position, you are settling into your crouched position in the slot, you will readily see the pitcher's completion of his pause (with a portion of his mitt below his chin) or the lack thereof - BALK!
