I set up with my nose on the inside corner of the plate with full view of the outside corner of the plate. My head would be above the catcher's head so I can see the outside corner. If the catcher is back I can be back, if he is crowding the plate, I will have to move up with him to see the outside corner. There are times when I can't see the corner, and I do the best I can. This would be when the catcher and batter are crowding the plate and the catcher is setting up inside. In an extreme situation of batter and catcher crowding and catcher setting up inside I might shift to the catcher's opposite shoulder, especially if he moves to his left at TOP. Catcher's moving around after TOP can take strikes away from their pitcher, because if I am set and he moves he may block my view.
