consistency on low pitches

And how does being back help with judging low pitches? Can you still see the catcher turn his mitt over to catch low pitches?

I will find the information but from the descriptions I've heard so far it seems the catcher would block the last several feet of the ball's flight... that can't be right so I must be missing something.

It might be a visual thing that I can't describe, but by being further back, I think it allows the eyes to take in more.

In other words, the picture that your eyes are taking has so much more information in it than is possible by being so close to the batter and catcher.

As Tee said, it really is amazing. I did not believe it until I tried it. It took me most of the summer to get used to the high pitch. That is the one that still will give me a little trouble, but the low ones are no problem.

Usually if I miss a pitch, it is the high pitch for some reason.

Thanks
