Hmm,
tibear:
I'm sorry as I just don't understand "why" you think I cannot see the ball.
You actually get a "longer" look at a pitch and that is one of the +'s of the stance.
See I am on the inside corner . . . "slot" . . . I am solid (head height the same every time) and I can look "down" and see the whole plate.
Also I ask you to remember that I am not the only person using this stance. While it is my picture in this thread many, many others use the stance successfully.
"However, if I saw an umpire that far from catcher, I would question the strikezone."
This is the EXACT reason that I am considering going back to the traditional stance. tiBear it is the same with any "new and coming thing" when people first saw the horseless carraige they scoffed and said it would never work . . . maybe this stance is the "horseless carriage" of umpiring.
If I give up the stance it will be ONLY because it cannot be "sold" to the coaching and evaluator masses.
Thanks for your points.
Regards,
