Good question Dakota.
I've never really thought about it. The plate is obviously considered the more important position. However, calls on the bases tend to stand out more than missing a strike or calling one in the dirt a strike.
I think you may have a good point. Perhaps the best place to start is behind the dish. It immediately involves you on a bigger level and definitely gives you a grander perspective of the game. And the rookie is not alone he has a veteran to assist on anything challenging... which there will undoubtedly be something to challenge him.
I generally let them choose their position in any game that is non-conference. Rarely do I have one choose to work the plate. Timidity.
My next rook is going behind the dish. Bring your gear.
