With a righty up, your left hand is exposed.

I'm still trying to picture this, and maybe I've been doing it wrong.

I'm in the slot..."double wide" ... my nose is on the inside edge of the plate.
My toes are pointing toward the mound, and my hands [fingers/palms] are on the outside of my knees, fingertips pointing at the ground, tucked in behind the side profile of my shingards; my thumbs are on top of my legs, behind my knees and also behind the profile of my shinguards. My right knee is [usually] behind F2's left shoulder; my LEFT knee is [usually] "behind" the batter's body. My WRIST can get hit, but for the life of me I cannot imagine how I can get a solid hit on my hand as described by kyle ... not saying it didn't happen to him, just thinking, still, that maybe it's GDS/Modified[kylejt ver.] that's the problem.
