Davis Stance

Let's see . . . where in any GD discussion does it say we do not work in the slot.

My nose is on the side edge of the plate every time . . .

Getting hit must be anecdotal:

Since I started the Davis Stance in 1999 I have been hit ONCE -- that's ONCE -- I got hit a bunch more than that working the heel-to-toe.

PLUS by working further back, in theroy, it would give the ball LONGER to rise before getting to the umpire therefore it would more often miss the umpire.

Sorry, I buy into very little of what you posted.

Amazing! While using the stance two weeks ago I was hit twice the same game, a 4A varsity game. The first was a foul tip to my chest protector. It hurt. Maybe, if I had been a few feet farther back it would have hit me in the face mask instead. The second was a pitch straight to my face mask, that was never touched by the catcher. It hurt less than the chest protector shot. I was locked into position and tracked it straight to my mask. To not be hit but once since 1999 is simply amazing, with any stance.
