I give the count often and can honestly tell you that I have made less mistakes without it than with it. At 60 I can still call any type of ball out there and not make mistakers with the count.

I know there are those that will tell you differently and if carrying an indaclickercounter works for them than thats fine. I'm just passing on some info.

I use the same technique on the bases and helps me concentrate more and help anticipate what I may expect with each pitch.

Good Luck
Thanks for the advice and kind words. I guess at this point for me it's the "off season" there are things like this that I've always tried to work through on my own, but have never really received any advice or training on some of the finer points of umpiring. Yeah, it's basic...yeah, I know...advance the indicator, don't use one, etc...I guess I don't find any harm in asking the question versus pretending to know the answer if there is a better way out there to do something, why not ask and find out? Maybe after reading this, I find out that I'm doing it the "right way" maybe not, but at least now that I've asked, I have more information to decide of there's a better way.
