Rich, nothing is harder to me then trying to teach brand new umpires how to get into a plate stance that looks like its better suited to squattin in the woods then working a baseball game. You have no more than 60 minutes at the beginning of the season for this training. After they leave the clinic, all bets are off for the most part.Thats where you see all the different "variations" of box, heel-toe, scissors, modified scissors, or the old "pop a squat".
The Davis System is super simple. You widen your stance, put your hands on your knees, lower your butt. Voila! Now all they have to learn is to get in the slot, keep your head still and call strikes. Anything else makes no sense.
Smaller batters, you widen your stance. Simple.
