Rec game today. Low level pitcher/catcher combination. Many, many balls are off target and missed by the catcher. I set up in the slot each time and it often seemed like my feet/shins were the only thing keeping the ball from rolling to the backstop and allowing the runners to advance. My question is should I move my leg when it became obvious that the slow moving pitch was rolling to my leg and the catcher was making no attempt to get it? At least 8-10 times in the game my body prevented the ball from getting away. This wasn't a case of me getting beat up: the pitch was way too slow for that. Was I giving the defense an advantage?
