10. Get down low enough and position your glove so the umpire can see the entire plate.

dont worry about this, get in a stance you feel is comfortable, and allows you to do your job. you should not have to change anything for an umpire; they should be in a stance, along with a proper distance, that allows them to see what they need to see anyways.

The best catchers get up close to the plate and know how to postion their glove so I can see the entire plate. Yes as an umpire you have to adjust up or down, but it's in the catchers best interest to give me a view of the plate. If I can't see the black their not going to get the borderline strike. I was doing an intersquad DI game the other day and the Coach made a point of asking me if his catchers postioned themselves so I could see the entire plate.
