Honesty is the best policy?

My 2 cents...

Get the Call right and call what you See, not what you expect or others tell you.

Bottom line, PAUSE... it sounds like you get too excited. You are not seing the whole play through and are calling it too soon. The younger the level, the more you have to wait. If you have a Close Play when a runner slides, Pause, Breathe, tell the fielder to show you the ball, then make the call (sell it if you have to). When you have the dish, Do you notice you call are calling balls and strikes before the catcher catches the ball. I have seen guys be on the back end of a ball call and then the batter swings. As you move up, pitchers have more movement. You need to see the whole pitch.

Again just my 2 cents. Good luck....
