Timing Issues

[Lawrence.Dorsey]

I think the difference between the Evans way and the 1-2-3 count method is that during the intervening time between the ball hitting the mitt and your announcing a ball or strike you are actually doing something (Evans way). You are using your eyes to decide if it was a strike or not. This may also mean quickly replaying what you saw in your head to make your decision. Evans always says call a pitch as soon as you "see" it. "Seeing" it isn't just tracking it all the way to the glove (but that obviously is a big part of it). The counting method may slow your timing down but it won't help you with your balls and strikes. Evans method will.
