Slowpitch Plate Umpire - Stance with a mat

Even if the catcher is 6-8 feet behind where a normal catcher would set up? That would put the umpire about 7-8 feet from his normal "slot" if the catcher was where he would play with stealing.

Yes it would. Are you trying to imply that 7-8 feet away, straight back, is too far to see the mat ... but 7-10 feet away, off to the side, is NOT too far to see the mat?
