Maybe it is textbook Jerry Davis, but why would anyone stand that far back from the plate? How is one going to see pitches well enough?

After many years, I have changed to the GD stance. Yes, it puts you farther back, but I have never felt so confident calling pitches. I'm now getting through entire games without hearing a single chirp about a pitch. I'm sure I will stick with that positioning.

Besides the view, I personally find two other advantages to the GD stance: (1) it is easier for me to remain absolutely motionless while tracking the ball, and (2) I can see better whether the batter offers.
