1st yr ump. -I am starting to look at plate mechanics. So i get not setting up in perimeter of strike zone. (Picture pg 20 Ump Manual) My question is do I set up on side batter is on or opposite side of batter ?? Please help I am confused and overthinking this !!!!!

In Dave's case, I switch sides. However, you being a 1st year ump.,
I would follow his advice. UIC's duck and hide when I do this, but
it allows me the best view when batter is legally crowding plate and
larger catchers is set up inside.
