I guess I kind of flounder on this topic; and flip-flop back and forth. At this point, I am starting to lean to the idea of no secondary stance for softball, but still believe it is a requirement for baseball. For me, I think this has to do with the throwing distance, as well as the lead off. In baseball, the secondary is required or you're not going to have enough drive to beat the runner. But since softball maintains the same base-path distance at such a young age, hitting second from a low position should still be very doable.
If going to a secondary/runners-on stance means you have the ability to make a stronger throw, why not give yourself that advantage?
I haven't been watching much D1 this year. Are the catchers that stay low throwing from the knees, or do they pop out of the squat?
I have seen both.
