Went to umpire camp. While doing field work I told the instructor that the field was my weakest. He began to discuss why and i never hardly got time to do any drills. I did get a lot of advice. and i was right about my problem. I just need to jump faster on the ball. I tend feel that that would be cheating the ball but I need to get there before the play with the angle and be set.
I just have to or this will be my biggest coach problem.
The we spent time in the cage My tracking was great. They said they could not believe that I was only one season. My stance was perfect and voice was loud. My timing was crap and they spent much time on that. They did not like my ring-up. but said I could get away with it. I did not tell them I was trying to meld softball into baseball so that all of the motions looked natural.
Needless to saw I ditched the dice throw and went to a forward punch. This also means I ditched the side strike indicator also since softball does not allow and baseball seems to be moving away from the point too.
Watched the LLBWS regional. What the fuck?!!?!?!? Some of those boys need fucking haircuts before getting on the field.
I thought the plate umpire was pretty good. Did not seem to be locked in as much as I thought I would like to be but over all look comfortable and in charge.
Will try to catch more this week.
