I've worked 24 games this year - 14-15 of them solo.
My advice is HUSTLE. Move out from behind the plate to get the best view on the calls. Anticipate steals so you can move to position. I move to around the pitchers circle as much as possible and then favor towards where ever the call will be - 1,2,3. If the ball is hit to the out field - I can be right by 3rd or even 2nd. Follow the play with anticipation of where it will be.. which is not always easy at the younger levels. Be ready to be exhausted unless you are some marathon type person... and then maybe still.
Good luck! I like working alone in theory but think the best called games are with a BU...
Also.. there is no one else to blame or appeal to but you so that can be interesting
