If you call the outside pitch, but not the inside pitch, you'll get the batters to crowd the plate. We get 100s of posts a year about "how do I see when the batter crowds the plate" so it must be a problem. And then, when a pitch is inside by a bit, you either get a hit batter, or a strike that the batter is trying to avoid -- and that looks bad.

So, keep the width the same but shift everything to the left (for a RH batter) a bit. If you give two balls off on the outside, and nothing on the inside, then try giving one each way.
