I had a 12U NSA tournament today and did the first two of four games behind the plate. I have to say the Gerry Davis stance worked quite well.
If we are going to have another long debate about stances, someone please define it better. Meantime, I will use the wide spread, heel-toe, slot, variable squat stance which generates almost no problem with pitch calls.
