I agree that there is no way a 10 year old was pitching anywhere near 60 mph. Most HS pitchers don't cross the 60 mph mark, and several college pitcher just pass that mark. If she is a really good, and I do mean really good, 10 year old pitcher, she might be hitting 40 mph.

In this situation, behind the catcher is the place for you to be. We have all taken our share of hits back there, it goes with the territory. However, our job is to adjudicate the game to the best of our abilities, and that would mean following the prescribed mechanics to get the best look at the play.
