body position for Position B and C

[LMan]

It's hard to watch for a foul at the plate, hit batsman, checkswings, balks, etc if you are staring into the dugout.

IF you're referring to my post, I would encourage you to read it and comprehend.

If I was referring to your post, I would have said so...but thanks for the conclusion jump no one asked for.

My bad.
I stand corrected to both you and SDSteve.
The OP actually mentioned facing the dugouts. Bad comprehension on my part.

But I didn't totally jump to a conclusion. I did in CAPS say IF you were referring to my post.

I will peek on passed balls and wild pitches, where I feel I have a millisecond to look and not miss anything. And I do understand that at higher levels you will get dinged for not peeking, but from 9 y/o up you hear players, coaches, and everybody else yelling "he's going." Plus you can hear the steps if they are going behind you then he's going. It just seems unnecessary most of the time.
