Just open the gate. Make your pivot foot opposite of the way the ball went, and if you don't know which way that is, just plant your right foot and move your left back.
Studies have shown that a right handed person is much more likely to turn around to his left (and all catcher's are righties). So, if you don't know where the ball went, he probably doesn't know either. So he's going to turn around to the left.
If you know the ball went the other way, just open it the other way.
Not hard.
