Watch the body language of a hitter when he comes to the plate and gets in the box. Is he confident or tentative? Watch his practice swings and the bat path. The catcher can look at a hitter's eyes and see how confident he is. Eyes don't lie. Read swings. Every foul ball or swing and a miss tells a story. Is the hitter late, early, under it or on top of the pitch?
As always, great insight and instruction. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
