In the zone...and then............

[Steve M]

Steve just gave you a great check list. Follow that.

I usually find that when I lose it, I'm too fast. I'll then go back to the fundamentals - much as Steve suggests. To slow myself down, I'll also remind myself that my priority is not calling the pitch, it's watching the catcher catch the ball. If I concentrate on watching the catcher catch the pitch and then make my call - I've slowed myself down to when I ought to be.
