I don't know about the dugout, but 50 feet down the third base line in the fifth row of the bleachers, my strike zone is phenomenal. Especially with a right handed batter.

He may be high due to not being in the slot and having a need to look over the catcher.

I would get my hand off my leg, also. More likely to get broken if hit by a foul BALL if placed on something (knee/leg) instead of hanging loose.
