Joel,



I offer several of the local high school coaches my availability during one of their early practices to work with their catchers & show them how we umps want to be worked with. Nobody took advantage this year, but I'm hoping that a couple will next year.

Steve,

Thats a great idea and one I would have thought
that you would have been working overtime on. The
catchers I hate are the ones that when pitch is
going to be outside - you look up and you as the
an umpire are facing the pitcher. Catcher
so far outside, you think she is on-deck batter.
