I agree. Recovering one's balance is one thing. Preparing for the next pitch is another.

I think this is where the "I have to read their mind to make this call" mentality came into play in years past. There is a difference in the batter's action/reaction being the result of a pitch/swing and taking a step to reposition one's self in the box.
