I've noticed a lot mor MLB umps using a true "slot" position. They look so crisp. Knowing some of the guys who do AAA and A ball for local teams, they say some of the best umps are the ones who use the "slot" position and "fist" strikes. No flash, but very consistent. Players have noticed this too.
