I'm 5'5". If there is a prototype out there for a new design for a catcher, I would be interested in seeing it. I just seem to get the stereotypical ones that are nearly as fat and maladroit as me.

As for the question: I adjust to the inside of the slot. (I'm not calling it a ball and penalizing myself with a longer game.) I prefer that to raising up, because (a) I get to keep my eyes at "top-of-strike-zone" level, and (b) raising up does not always get me enough.
