the inside protector allows you to get lower more on an eye level of the pitch. working right on top of the catcher makes you "look" down on the pitch and not get a very good depth perception on the pitch. working that distance away allows you to step back, see the ball longer, and allow the ball to come to you instead of looking down on it. if you do not like the stance, do not use it. if your arms are exposed, how many shots do you take there anyway when not working the GD stance? that would be your upper thigh (no protection there anyway) and the lower torso where there is little protection anyway.
