I agree with your concerns and will probably be at odds with others.

Stay with your mechanics, they are there for a reason. This "leader" is blowing smoke up your ass, his reasoning is bullshit. If the players were going to steal, they would be going when permitted. If there is a walk and they are forced, it really doesn't make any difference when they leave since they are protected.

If it is a ball, call it a ball. Doesn't need to be really loud, but it is your job. If it is a strike, call it a strike. Again, doesn't require a scream, but should be sharp and loud enough for close infielders to hear. Don't worry about the glove, but I'm not suggesting you wait until the catcher is removing it from the glove. It shouldn't be rushed based on calling it when it hits the glove (assuming modified)
