Is this your set position?

No. I call ASA.

Plate set; not a chance.

Yes, that is my set position on the bases...when I'm working baseball! :D

For ASA/NFHS softball, I do it just like the manual tells us.

See what the man from Dacula says. I pretty much agree.

What's that white line square thing where the catcher and batter are?

In a recent ASA State Umpire school, we were told explicitly to not put our hands on our knees or thighs, but to take on a position more like an infielder, with hands below the waist, weight on the balls of the feet, ready to move any direction.

Well, it is too shallow to be a catcher's box and too far back for a batter's box, but the one thing I know for sure, that is an IP :cool:

Those lines are actually drawn wrong (they're too long), so he's not out of the catcher's box. Not going to call an IP on that.
