My first plate game

[FredFan7]

Well last night (June 12) I did my first game behind the plate. It was 11-12 year old girls. I don't know if that was good or bad. Several walks, pitches over the batters head, in the dirt, way inside, way outside, then one that nips the corner, almost lobbing in there at times. I felt inconsistent, and frustrated at times that I couldn't find a consistent zone. I would guess I got about 80-percent of the "judgement pitches" (didn't bounce, good height etc) right. I gave myself a C, but my partner said I did ok. One call I'd want back. Ended the inning on a called third strike on the corner in the batters eyes. The game ended 10-9 on a 90 minute time limit (went four innings!).

Second game I was on the bases, where I felt much better. Partner was very complimentary on my mechanics, etc.

Well, I'm learning!!!
