I have to go with Ozzy here. This guy looks horrible. Whoever told umpires that touching the catcher was a good thing? Remember, we are only discussing his stance here, not his training or experience.
Well, he must have some training or experience or he wouldn't have risen to the level he has.

Regarding the throat guards, wear or don't wear it, but, show me a stance where the throat is not exposed. Why would anyone choose to not wear something that could keep them from dying on the field?

If the throat guard didn't have a function, like the sunshield so many wear in their masks that do absolutely nothing, it would be different. The throat guard is a functional piece of protective equipment.
