I was told as I was become certified by our clinician to not move from C until you knew the pitch would not be put in play, and never told otherwise since.

Do I need to be moving with that runner? How much with him (keeping in mind I may still have a call at first to make in two man)?

I do know to get to the 45 foot line and turn with the throw.

Help?

Doubt you'll get that far, but know what you mean about the angle. JMOHO, steps won't hurt. Running? No, way too dangerous.

Saw a varsity umpire set up between F6 and F5. PU w/ years of experience didn't tell him anything. Of course the guy probably meant well, but if he isn't standing in a proper C alignment, he might as well set up right behind the pitcher.

Seems to me, the catcher's throw takes you to F5's glove and F5's glove takes you to the tag. Bang 'em if he's out {just sell it}.
