Gosh, the only reason you could possibly ask that is if you haven't had any length of time calling amateur ball . FYI, dozens of times back when I was calling several hundred games a year of 12U-18U baseball.

Probably can be counted on one hand.

So much for that guess.

So having solid skills and knowledge of the rules actually allows you to make the correct call...you don't need great balls of fire to send a batter to 1st for HBP.

Tell that to the hundreds of umpires I have seen miss this call who knew the rules.Gosh, you trolls are aggressive around here.
