Just got through my 1st viewing of the NECC dvd and ran into a setup question. I noticed in the video there was ambiguity about it due to differences of interpretation by umpire. This is something I really want to get a take on, though because there is no idea about what is and is not acceptable at our league right now. It seems to fluctuate. The league "suggestion" was to setup on the 1st base side of the plate and straddle it until the ball came near. Then, advance forward or something. It seemed weird and clunky to me and DD hated it. So, I modified it to have her 1 large step forward and 1 large step to the left and confirm that position wouldn't be considered obstruction before each different umpire we had. None of them had an issue with it, but there was a play at the plate that she almost missed for being that far away.
Since the time of the taping, have any of you noticed an issue with that placement.....or do you use a different placement for positioning there?
