some of you are getting this all wrong. we are looking to simplify. not get all fancy. im looking at wristbands to really simplify not complicate. the belt is still bunt with us, swipe down the leg is steal, etc. cant get anymore simple than that on offense at the high school level. im trying to get defensive signals as simple as our offense. im looking to simplify defensive signals by combining pitch calling, pickoffs, positioning, etc into one signal. in my opinion it cant get any simplier than putting it on a wristband and calling out some numbers.
im a play catch, throw strikes, make contact type of coach - and when we do that we are successful - i just see this as a another way to simplify the game.
Own the Zone has worked out best for us. We change cards frequently and it don't skip a beat. We only use it for pitchers/catchers but played against Anderson Co in TN and they used it for both. Coach Downs seemed to like it.
