Champro 4-Dial Optic Yellow Steel Umpire Indicator - 3/2/2 Count

This is my new favorite indicator. Love the feel in the hand and the sturdy click that makes a definitive snap. This is my first indicator that does 2 strikes and 3 balls before rolling back to zero and I've found the 2+3 combo makes it easy to keep track of warm up pitches between innings. On the odd chance you're behind the plate at a field where home faces directly into the sun, a little piece of gaffer's tape on the back can help reduce the glare as the polished chrome finish can act like a signal mirror at times but I love it because it's easy to spot if it's trying to hide in your gear bag.
