Three different videos from the same game; I'll put them in separate posts.

Your timing is fast on strikes...

good head height...

Try not to walk backward on the filed, turn sideways and jog back... walking looks lazy. and walking backwards, you never know what is behind you.

Good distance behind the catcher.

good forward lean.. maybe a tad more.

Strike 3 mechanic looked a little weak, sell it.. get into it..

Looks ugly.. sorry....

I won't disagree. I'll most likely be changing it out this off-season.

I really like the stance. The forward lean looks real pro.

The harness is a little distracting. My eyes were drawn to it.

I suggest not walking/moving backwards. If you can't see the ball when walking forward toward the plate, try exiting the fields directly toward the foul line, then turning to home. This will allow you to always move forward while keeping your eye on the ball and most of the field.

I think you move into the play extremely well. Very deliberate and quick. This game has that much more of a 'pro' feel because the umpires are hustling out efficiently.

Great job. Good positioning and setup.

Good Hustle. I agree with the others don't walk backwards.

Your Strike 3 mechanic was weak. This is your time to showcase.

Agreed, lose the mask bra. Allstar made it so that the harness wouldnt slide of the slick plastic of of the catchers skull. Also I dont necessarily have to much of an issue with walking backwards a little bit on the field. However doing it during live ball play is not a good idea. What happens if you fall over and hurt yourself and then a play happens at home? Just putting it out there.

Also, dont let the batter walk around so much in video #2. Every little bit of walking around costs time on the field. It isnt necessarily a problem to much but if you can shave 5 to 10 minutes off of your game, thats 5 or 10 minutes faster that you can get out of the plate gear.

I also have to agree that the 3K mechanic could use some work. I like the arm lift or hammer you give to start with. But the chain pull is a little soft. If you put some authority behind it by crisping it up, it will look a lot better.
