Talking Mechanics
I just read the newest Referee mag article about "working the plate", with some concerns.
1- Chin no lower than catcher helmet. Aren't we taught eyes at top of strike zone, regardless of catcher height and stance.
2 - I don't have catcher in my way if in proper slot with heel-toe, unless she shifts into slot.
3 - The dirt rubbing on ball seems inappropriate or at least unnecessary. Pre-game rubbing of coating is all I will do.
Any comments?
