Does not take a brain surgeorn to figure this out. 3 moves to look for, jump-spin(otr), step and throw(otr, look for D&D), step off(dance, pick his nose, scratch his butt), who cares at this point. I've got my soon to be 9 year old with better grasp of this stuff than you......why you make it so complicated???....Freix?

Actually, Chris, factors of a charging runner, the pitcher possibly not taking his expected normal windup, and the quick change in the speed of the delivery to the plate tend to make the situation more complex and stressing than you portray it. Frequently that's further complicated by the actions of the batter or perhaps even the catcher leaving the box to move on or in front of the plate. Perhaps you've not been there, or perhaps you're just so much better than anyone else that you don't realize the added stress. Certainly your 9 year old son must be........LOL.
Regardless, the point I was making was the importance to be alert and to know whether you have a pitch vs. a throw, and not assume it's a pitch and then "call Time and check [with your partner] when the play is over" as Warren advises. If you agree with Warren, Chris, I'd strongly suggest you consider taking some pointers from your 9 year old son.
