WRONGO!

When this catcher set up he was REAL FAR forward. I mean he was just back of the tip of the plate.

FIRST RETRACTION OF PREVIOUS STATEMENTS:

There is no way that an umpire can see the entire outside portion of the plate if a catcher works REAL FAR froward.

Thanks. I have been wondering what I was doing wrong when guys who have working GD longer say you an always see the corner of the plate. I am wide, I am back, and I am high, I am in the slot, but I can't see the corner when the catcher crowds the plate. If they set up 18 inchs back, no problem.
