Squeezing the Slot

[CecilOne]

First, make sure the batter is in the box.
Second, make sure catcher knows that if your view is blocked, it can't be a strike.
p.s. re: Duke's comment, not meant to tell the catcher how to catch, just explaining why it won't be a strike.
Third, get a little higher or to the opposite side of the catcher. Not as good a view, but better than none. Or, try to focus on strike zone only, even if you can't see all you normally see and sometimes you will still be able to judge the pitch.
