As someone with a bad knee (that includes a dislocated kneecap 2 years ago), I could call balls and strikes all day. It's the coming out quickly from the plate that causes 100% of my lower extremity issues.
I turn my toes slightly out, too. It does cost me a shot or two on the calf every season, but that's OK -- it only really hurts when you take one in the unprotected shin (which happened to me once back when I thought it was cool to work softball with little to know gear -- I was young and stupid).
