I struggled with this for awhile myself. Currently, I place my hands in a loose fist right at my waist and tuck my elbows in to my sides. This seems to work well, but I did get hit by a foul ball right on my knuckle last week.

I tried using the position with my hands hanging down between my legs, but found that I was getting hit in the hands more often, no injuries, just annoying.

I also tried placing my hands on my lower thigh behind my knee, but did not feel like I was stable in my stance.

I guess the best thing is just to experiment with different positions and find the one that you are most comfortable with.
