consistency on low pitches

[johnSandlin]

I agree with Bob on all ther points he made, but especially the ones that he made about sneaking a peak at the batter's knees before the pitch, and also when Bob said using the catcher.

The catcher can help you in most times, but there are those times where the catcher is your enemy and wants no part of helping you out.

What I normally do, is let the batter get set, and then sneak a peak at the batter's knees before the pitch starts coming.

The other thing that I do is I tell every catcher, is "Just give me a look and opportunity." Most catchers will understand what you saying, but you have to explain this statement to some as well. I just tell to give me a good presentation of the pitch and also give me a chance to call the pitch before you throw it back to the pitcher.
