hsbaseballcoach,
we will often times end up with our guys doing it like you are talking about.
coachb25 yes i think they may stand up a little more but they will get their shoulders turned more and usually have better and stronger throws to first. we still work throught the ball and toward first as we do this. my assistant and i have discussed this every year.
hsballcoach. i was a catcher and was taught to make a short step in front instead of foot replacement. for the same reason... gets the shoulder turned etc.
