That means you're moving as the pitch is coming in. Something we try to avoid.

The Davis stance puts weight on your arms, and puts you more toward the "Danger Zone" of getting hit. If both those things are needed for you to see the pitch properly, go get 'em. Me, I'm fine up in the slot, with my hands rotated behind my thighs. When I get old and tired, and need to put my hands on my knees to rest during a game, I'll try it.

With some of the guys I umpire with, if you flinch or bail, you're buying the beer after the game. That's why you wear to top notch gear, fellas.
