I stay in the slot no matter what. I had a pitcher that was really throwing some heat in a HS game, the catcher moved way outside of the corner to a right handed batter. I called time went out to the mound to dust off the rubber and told the pitcher that if she threw inside while I was unprotected her strike zone would become the size of a postage stamp. She giggled and said she under stood the reason. Boy she could nail that outside front corner and the batters could touch it. The pitcher went on to pitch four years of college ball and is a local HS coach.
