Having watched catchers at the college and pro levels, they tend to receive in all sorts of positions. Some drop knees, do the splits, one leg out or sit on the ground. My son is 6' 2" and will frequently drop a knee to clear space to receive a low left or right pitch. The coach insists that he always keep the shoulders and knees in the 'square' configuration and that good umpires look for this. Any input from you guys?
