There are some schools of thought (LL for one) that harken to the major leagues mechanics and want you to set up your chin at the top of the catcher's helmet. I just think that's way to high. I'm with Bandit - I put my eyes at the top and the inside corner of the strike zone. Of course, he might not be able to get down any farther than that . . .
