Reply to ""Borderline Pitches""

Actually pirate fan, I understand what your saying. However for me, I was never comfortable with having different zones for different levels.

The best advice I ever got was to try and establish one zone. One good consistent zone and I do my best to call it no matter what level I do. Now I dont do much youth ball so I dont see the wild fluctuation in pitching ablities....

I even resist changing my zone in blowouts...I only end up hurting my zone.......One zone, all the time has made me more consistent.

At the levels I call there is not a lot of fraternization between us and coaches and players....we umpire, they coach, they play..at the end of the game, its game balls to the head coach and Im off to the dressing room (most times the parking lot).......

I am approachable, and conversational, but away from the field. i do not want any team to think I favor one team or another...
