Buster Posey

Ugly collision hutrs Posey's ankle (looks like). My son's a catcher so I thought we could do some quick analysis to see if the injury could have been avoided thru his mechanics.

I know that at that second of the action, the athelete is just reacting to the inputs. But, it looks like his dropping to the knee opened up the possibility of the injury. Staying on your feet seems like a better approach beacause you could either brace for the push off or simply fall backwards.

Thoughts?
