[QUOTE="alentrekin, post: 315869, member: 2909"] I don't know if there was a rule change since I graduated in '06, but then it was legal to line your shinguard on the inside of the chalk with your heel at the corner of the plate. This way, if you don't move, they have a fractional view of plate and your knee will bend (and not blow out) if they slide into you. This was taught by every catching coach I knew. As an aside, this reminded me of two amazing catching coaches (and good people) Scott Strickland Varitek. They both taught the same thing at the plate -- line up as above, flex to prepare to move, and lead the tag with the glove not the body. [/QUOTE]
