A good key: Imagine a straight line from your body to the outfield that is parallel to the third base line. This line moves as you move, away from and towards the third base line. NEVER let a runner get between that line and the third base line.
With a runner at second, stay left of the mound. With a runner a third, stay in foul territory.
Work for angles instead of distance, but get your butt out from behind the plate and let the coaches and players know you're working to do the best job you can. Nothing worse that an umpire who looks lazy.
If you'd like, email me and I'll send you a one page One Man Mechanics sheet.
