How do you avoid bumping into the catcher on a throw to thrid?

[JRutledge]

You should be able to get out of the way, if you are paying attention to what is going on. If you realize that a runner is moving, and often times you will by just what the catcher does, you should easily get out of the way. But this also depends on the catcher, his stance, his size, and his ability.

I personally am in the box/slot stance. I am well balanced and it is very easy for me personally to move. I can move to either side and just read what the catcher does and move accordingly.

Just one way to look at it.
