Behind the pitcher redux

[outathm]

Last night I was pulled off of the field to work the neighboring field by myself. As the game was already 15 minutes late both coaches agreed that I could work from behind the mound. It was a 10U game and both pitchers were throwing in the low 60s . I had one coach come to me between innings and ask about my zone. I just looked at him like he was crazy. This was the first and LAST time for me working behind the pitcher. In a game where you need to hunt for a strike, this is not the place to be, and in a game where the pitchers are actually hitting corners I can not even begin to imagine working from this spot.
