You stance is personal. If you can see the ball well and you can maintain a similar head position, then that is what you want to achieve in my opinion. I cannot tell anything big by these pictures other than it looks like you might be a little high and do not look as locked in.

Having said that most umpires I know have changed their stances multiple times over their careers. Partly because they did something they were completely comfortable when they started, but someone told them to do it so that is what they did.

I used what I would call a modified Gerry Davis stance and I have been much happier than what I used to do. This is probably my 4th stance over my 10+ years.

Peace
