Mechanics

[briancurtin]

• called first and second strike: i use the hammer and verbalize the strike
• swinging first and second strike: point to the right, head doesnt move
• called third strike: right hand flat (palm down) straight in front of me, then i rip it back and punch forward with my left hand, and verbalize 'strike three'.
• swinging caught third strike: point to left, followed by hammer out signal and verbalize 'out'
• swinging uncaught third strike: i take a step to my side and point with my left hand down towards the catcher, verbalize 'no catch', and point to my right while still keeping my eyes on the play. ive become better this season with this, from all of the discussion that came from the doug eddings situation
