I was just watching the highlights for the Yankees / Diamondbacks game on Baseball tonight.

The plate umpire had the highest stance I have ever seen. For the pitches they showed, the bottom of his rib cage was at the top of the catcher's head.

From what I saw, he had a good zone, but he seemed way too high to get a good look at the low pitches.

Anybody else use this high stance ?

He wasn't using the GD, so he was in tight on the catcher.
