Plate/Field Mechanics

[Steve M]

While working the plate, I let the pitcher's motion dictate when I drop into a set position. I do not want to be down too long, but I want to be down long enough to see the entire delivery.

On the bases, I get into a set position when the pitcher is ready to take the signal. With no runners on, I am upright, one the line - either in 'A' or 'D' positions.
