How do some of you teach your catchers to set up when a high pitch is called?
I had an umpire (who let me know he also umpires D-1 games ) tell me that my catcher was setting up too high at times and blocking his view. He told me when she does that it would be an automatic BALL called.
On occasion we've had an umpire complain but most make an adjustment and still make the right call. This was the first time in hundreds of games that I've been told it would be an automatic ball. Is she supposed to go in a normal crouch and then hold the glove over her head as a target?
