Are you playing ASA ball? Unless you have some local league rule in writing telling you differently F2 must be inside the catchers box. It may not be drawn on your field but it still exists. It is ten feet deep starting at the back edge of the batters box and as wide as the two batters boxes. F2 can set up anywhere in this area which is, admittedly, a very wide area. If F2 insists on setting up where you must take a less than favorable spot to view the strike zone, so be it. If F2 does not like what I am calling I will tell her I am doing what I can with the view she is allowing me.
Check out page 37 of the ASA book for a diagram of the home plate area and the catcher's box.
