Don't get lower for smaller batters.

When a small HS player comes up to bat, many are smaller than the average 14 YRO, we do not take a lower stance.

So, for anything on the 90' Diamond, take your regular stance. The Strike Zone isn't that much lower, only a couple of inches (unless you are calling Nose-To-Toes). It will actually help you from calling pitches that are too low Strikes.

On the 60' diamond, the players on average are much smaller, so you may have to take a knee. But that can be painful also, because getting up is a little tougher, and puts more stress on the front knee.
