The Low Strike

Focus on every batter, where are his knees. Then watch the pitch. Catcher is irrelevant unless he can stick the pitch and thus help his pitcher. Any downward movement of the mitt, or underhand catch on borderline pitch is expected by all to be a ball.

This technique is of limited usefulness with a breaking pitch.
