High school baseball players: PLEASE do not post your commitment before calling and thanking every coach that offered you, letting them know you’re committing elsewhere. You never know if they will end up being your future coach down the road

HIGH SCHOOL CATCHERS: SPOILER ALERT umpires can see you catch the ball, move it 6 inches up and 5 inches over to the left. We see that. Stick the baseball, try to catch with a flat glove. Make only Subtle movements, if any. Make it look natural, not manipulated.

Peep the catcher, his name is Hunter. Not sure of his last name. Mad respect for that kid! Wins a Natty but has to shake the plate guy’s hand, first.
Did the same thing in the prior semifinal game with me when I had the plate. Great kid.
Also hit a TANK in semi

Let’s face it, nobody likes the rule. But, as an umpire, if you want to umpire postseason this must be enforced. This is the whole “accountability” issue everyone wants to bring up, but never solve. There is accountability, but you can’t pick and choose rules to enforce

This is a borderline stri-ball. This pitch is too close to take. Even if the location of the pitch crossing is accurate (usually isn’t until post-game), that pitch is about an inch from touching black. We can’t act like this is egregious.

Or you could, like stop blaming the umpire for catching the ball like shit.
This account has literally turned into bashing umpires every week when the catcher butchers a pitch.
And before you say “it doesn’t matter, call it a strike”, it does matter. It’s called game
i guess there was enough going on here to keep doug eddings from calling this pitch a strike (he's only human after all)

100% correct call. Ball doesn’t have to touch the runner? Don’t know where that came from, but whoever is broadcasting the game should be required to have the rulebook in front of them. How do people honestly listen to commentators talk about baseball not knowing the rules?

I misspoke. Should’ve never said stick the baseball. And should have clarified that I meant that moving a ball DRASTICALLY does nothing. That’s what I meant by 5x6in. When done correctly at High levels, moving the ball subtly is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

This is EXACTLY what catchers need to hear. As an umpire, I can tell you that when a catcher sets up in it is the toughest spot for an umpire. The slot almost disappears, so being low early helps us get set tremendously. Thx for sharing
