Doing a U14 game Sunday, just as F1 was starting his wind up, one catcher would jump sideways about a foot to set up on the outside corner. It left me feeling a bit naked.

Is it better to stay locked in & a bit naked, or slide that foot with the catcher & set up during the pitch??

While it can become a new adventure in pain management, it is better to stay locked in positon. I look at it this way, I've got protection and I trust my gear; how can you not trust a WV Platinum? My job is to track that pitch and hopefully ring up a strike so I don't want to miss a beat.

Besides, the only time I feel naked is when I'm getting changed in the public locker room in the parking lot!
