I was schooled in hitting from the Walt Hriniak theory. One of his concepts is that releasing your top hand through your swing, enables you head to stay more stationary.
From time to time I would follow through and catch the catcher's glove. I would get a warning, and the catcher would get the message to take a step back.
One game I hit the catcher in the mitt knocking it down the first base line. The umpire gave me a warning, and told the catcher to take a step back. The catcher came up with the bright idea that if I was up with runners on, and he took a step up putting himself in range of my back swing, then it might be an easy out.
This time he stood up so much that I hit him across the face, and the ball went out of the park. 3 run shot and a bump on the head. We both got another warning.
