Need help with strike zone

[Mike M]

Here is my two cents from a third year with only about 50 or so games behind the plate.

1.) When you work the bases, try to call every pitch. Notice how the batters/pitchers/coaches react to called pitches. Notice how different each PU's strike zone can be.
Notice how easy to call pitches when you do not have the "pressure" to be right.

2.) When you work the plate, work on one thing during the game. Whether it be a consistent routine, consistent head height, watching the pitch to the glove, delaying the call, etc. pick one thing for the game. After each half inning, ask yourself how you did? What did you do right? What can do the next half inning to improve?

3.) RELAX. With more game experience, comes more confidence. Until then fake it til you make it by reminding yourself it is a game and you are trying your best.
