Episode 60 - OHSAA White Book: Mechanics Reminders pt 2

2025-04-09

In this episode, we tackle mechanics reminders around working the slot at home plate.

At the end of our last discussion, we still had a section of reminders about some pitch calling mechanics. We decided to merge the remainder of those things with our discussion around the tips within another article titled, "Get Your Head Right: Using the Slot to Get the Most Accurate Strike Zone".

So this part 2 is really a part 2 in spirit only.

During discussion, we cover topics like correct positioning of your feet, head position and level, torso position, when to drop in, timing of the call, and what to do if we get "crowded out" of our initial or desired position.
