I didn't see any reference to that in the article. Jay said that sometimes the batter may initially restrict the umpire's view, but his/her view will open up when the batter gets into her hitting-position crouch.

He said something about looking through the catcher if chin below her helmet.
My point is in the proper heel-toe, fully in slot; I barely see the catcher let alone look "through" her.
I experimented with the chin-to-helmet today and could not see all of the zone; especially as the batters height varied and the catcher came up for a high pitch or runner.
