First Day on the Field( GD System Rant)

[ajjl22]

I am in my 4th year of using the GD system and I am a younger umpire (24). I am lucky to be in an association that promotes the GD system and actually encouarages using it ( about 80 - 90% of the top umpires in the association us it).

As for getting hit by more pitches: I took a lot more shots by foul balls (i still have not been hit by a foul tip)when i work heal-toe my first two seasons.
