Call it a ball no matter what. If there is protest from the catcher and/or coach, explain that the catcher blocked your view.
At no time should you move to try to see the pitch! Once you are down, STAY DOWN! If the catcher is not skilled and keeps blocking your view (this is provided that you are properly positioned in the slot) call balls, and remind the catcher to stay down on the pitch so you can see it. It might be a long day that day, but a coach and catcher that care will make the adjustments in the future to allow you to see the zone.
