I work hard on, and take pride in, remaining still no matter what- up to a point. That point being when the game participants demonstrate to me that their lack of skills might be putting my personal safety in jeopardy.
I'll hang in there and take my licks, but if I start to become "Bret, The Human Backstop" on every other pitch, I'm moving!
Considering that this is usually an issue in younger age groups, and that for younger ages the pitchers aren't going to throw that fast or have that much movement, you can still call a pretty good zone from behind the catcher (they're smaller and easy to see over), from further back or even while ducking out of the way of a pitch heading right for your noggin.
If the coach doesn't like it, he can find another catcher.
