Three fastpitched strikes to catcher (high school)
Batter taps the first 2 pitches with a short foul ball above the catcher's head, but not above the batter's head. Catcher caught both balls with very little movement. She never got out of her catcher's stance. I called a dead ball strike both times. The third pitched ball had the same results as the first two pitches. Since this was the third strike, I called the batter out. Was this the correct call?
