I'll be first to admit...

That I would probably attract some attention for inconsistency in the lower part of my zone. There would be comments such as, "That was the same pitch he called a ball earlier in the at bat."
Another might be, "He needs to keep his head more still on low-outside pitches."

These are things on which I know I need improvement.

There are many things however, that I know I wouldn't hear. "Why is he not moving up the line on a batted ball in the infield? Why is he using the indiclikacounter in his right hand? Why is he yelling 'Foul' on a ball fouled into the backstop?"

IMO, these types of things are not picking nits. They are basic fundamentals of umpiring that one should resolve before the end of their first season.

Just my $0.02.
