The PU is facing the team coming to bat about 8' either first base line extended or 3rd base line extended. Ed Crane likes to say belt buckle down the line. It feels like you are pretty close but back by the fence is too far away. The BU are 15 ' off the line closer to the outfield. If there are outfielders warming up there. You may move to the line 15' inside the base.
Look confident and athletic. I lake to stand with one foot slightly in front of the other and have my hands at my side. That is also how you should look between pitches before you set. Perception of the coaches should be that you know what your doing and nothing is going to happen on the field that you can't handle.
U1 needs to bust inside if there is a runner on first and the ball gets into left or center. That runner can't beat you home on a double. Reading the play and knowing where the ball is is important.
