Update to the list: 7. Know the count at all times as part of pre-pitch preparation. I give the count on "action" pitches: 0-2, 3-1, etc. Yesterday the catcher asked me the count on 2-1, and I gave it to her.
The next pitch was a lovely strike. I ALMOST rang up the batter on strike 2. Thank god for timing and an accurate scoreboard operator....I saved it at the last moment.
