i wonder...

I wonder if this new "fad" of verbalizing pitch location comes out of timing. One of the tricks I have been taught is to see a strike, say "strike" to myself, call it.

I could see, as a teaching tool only, to "call the ball." See it a ball, say "ball, low" to myself, then verbalize it. After doing this for a while it could easily become a habit, albeit a bad one.

Are these guys that are verbalizing the ball call in the bigs, young guys or old dogs?
