Hey all,
If you think about it, most catchers end up scrambling on hands and feet to get to a passed ball that goes back behind them, and the PU is the person who just side steps to get out of the way. Squatting, like in the picture, does not lend itself to easy, comfortable, BALANCED, and quick lateral movement. That is why the PU needs to be higher than where he is in the picture.
