GD Stance

T,

By sitting on the inside corner and being nice and high I'm able to see the entire strike zone. Granted, by being on the inside corner, I'm not able to see exactly where the outside corner is because my eyes are on the other side of the plate, but at least I see the pitch all the way across the strikezone and simply have to guess about the outside corner.

I like the GDS because of the stability it gives you and I guess it works for you being that far from the catcher. However, if I saw an umpire that far from catcher, I would question the strikezone. Of course, I wouldn't say anything because you'd toss me but inside I would be thinking, "How can you call something when you can't see ball cross the plate?"

Perhaps with enough experience you can extrapolate where the ball is going without actually seeing it. If it works for you, great.
