Our Association forbids working from behind the mound in one man. Their explanation is that it doesn't " look professional ". I expend a lot more energy in one man behind the plate, but I feel like I have done a good job ( under the circumstances ) because I move to every play. Although I have not received a lot of praise for that effort ( not looking for OR expecting it ), I have NEVER received any complaints about working behind the plate when alone.
