14-15 babe ruth

My partner learned a very interesting thing last night while working the dish. Called strike 1 - he stepped back, looked to the 1B dugout, and signaled strike. Batter wheels around holds his hands up and looks at him and says did you call that a strike? "Yes I did".

3 pitches later, called strike 3, same mechanic. He doesn't see the batter wheel on him holding his hands up like "how can you call that a strike", then throw the bat at the dugout.

Good lesson learned on why not to turn your head on your strike mechanic.
