Let's try to stay on topic. I posted Jason's photo to illustrate a point regarding the possibility of one getting struck by a baseball underneath and behind the lower guard portion of a face mask. There was no intent to utilize the photo as part of a clinic.
Whether or not you feel that Jason's stance is text book, it is accurate in height and distance and stability. That's three elements more than many amateur umpires get right.
Poor Jason. He probably will never be a pro. He's only utilized that stance at levels 95% of amateurs will never see.
