I use the GD and my thigh (batter-side) gets hit more than any other place. I dont get a lot of shots off the mask, perhaps because the GD puts you up higher than some other stances. Fortunately, the thigh is a high-fat area that can absorb punishment better than a bony area would.


If you wish to effectively call pitches, you are going to take shots. It's inevitable....some positions are better than others, but NONE assure hit-free games. You have to decide if you are willing to stand in there and get hit from time to time.

If not, quit now.

Actually the getting hit doesn't bother me - it's like I'm catching again!
