Umpire photo
Usually when I blink, both eyes open and close at the same time. Perhaps this umpire image has some scientific explanation.

It looks like an inside pitch. His nose was in the way of his dominant right eye seeing the pitch in close so he closed it and gave the left eye full pathway to the brain. Not sure if I'm being sarcastic or not. As I write it it's starting to make sense.

A blink out of fear of the ball grilling you can flutter a little, and with a shutter speed of 1/1500th of a second or faster, it might have the one eye closing as quickly as a thousandth of a second sooner than the other, and the camera will still freeze it.

Totally bailing out on these pitches is a whole 'nuther story!

If you can learn to stop bailing, you can learn to stop blinking.

I find it pretty easy to not blink on pitches that are not swung at. It gets harder when the batter swings, especially if the bat is at eye level. ML catchers blink frequently when the batter swings.

Yeah, that's usually the case with me. I can track the pitch right up to my mask, but when the batter swings at such a pitch, there sometimes is a blink involved. The human eye blinks naturally every few seconds anyway. I'm way too relaxed back there to consciously think about whether or not I am blinking. I just stay as focused as possible on every pitch.

So you've never viewed photos of your calls taken with a zoom lens from straight on set at a really fast shutter speed? How very odd....
