playoffs
If anyone else is involved in their high school varsity playoff schedule, I would like to wish you luck in your games.
I tried to post about my televised game, but you needed subscription access. So I'll post these photos, and see if this works. Feedback, if possible, is welcome.     Hope this works. Thanks guys and ladies.

Have you ever compared you set position for LH slot to that for the RH?

I noticed the same thing Mike did - compare your plate stance left & right side. It also looks like your head may be too low, this will make that outside, top of the knee pitch tough to call.

yeah, on this particular one I seem much more open on that left handed set up. I'm usually not that open and this was the only left handed batter photo I could find. I'm not usually like that.
As far as being low, I disagree. I'm at the top of the zone, and I feel I get a great look. But I do appreciate your feedback on that. Anything else?

Looks good overall. As others have stated, set up a bit higher. Bottom of your chin should not be lower than the top of the catcher's helmet.
Hem your plate pants an inch or two longer. I'm not sure what that emblem is on your ball bag, but here in NYSSO, there shouldn't be any. Though I don't think anyone else will pick up on that  Then again, I only realized that because both ball bags look empty. What's up with that? You don't want to look foolish stalling a game because you "have no balls." That's what the top-notch NCAA umpire did on tv last night despite being in a "real" ball park and having two ball bags and the defense taking a conference right before she ran out of balls.Keep up the good work. I may see you soon.
