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.

A 14U girl hitting 40 is damn good..
If this 10U girl was hitting 60 she needs to be front page news.
