You can take a hit either way. It's more important to find out what works for you and this can change according to the level of play. I like "squat to heels" for younguns, inside positioning as play skills increase. I'm somewhere between 4'4" and 8 feet tall so you can see, your height can also make a difference as does the TOCH "Top Of Catcher's Head". Try, experiment, find out for yourself.
