Tips for a rookie
Hey all-

I have begun to work the dish every now and then, and I love it! I know I need to develop my strike zone a bit. Does anyone have any advice for me?

I would definitely appreciate it!

Slowwww down.......see the pitch, replay it in your brain, make the call. Nothing worse than hearing and umpire start "stri....."..."ping"........

Find someone in your area worth listening to and then use your ears and mouth in the proportion you have them. Ask questions and listen to the answer.

When getting in the "set" position, don't get your eyes lower than the batter's back shoulder.
