BTW, for those who work ASA fastpitch, the prescribed mechanic for a check swing inquiry is now as follows:

Batter attempts to check and umpire is unsure or is asked to check.

Umpire removes mask with left hand, takes two good sized steps to the side from which you are requesting help. Point to your partner with right hand and ask:

SWING?

Not:
Did she go?
Do you have a swing?
What do you think?

Just one word: SWING?

Partner replies:

YES (demonstrating a hammer)

or

NO (offering a "safe" signal)

I'm sure many of you have already seen or heard this, just throwing it out for those who may have not.
