Being on one knee makes blocking pitches in the dirt much easier, which is why our wild pitch numbers are way down. Getting to pitches well wide of the zone is likely more challenging.
I still don't get it. If you, as a catcher, change from the one-knee to the traditional stance, I'm guessing it would signal the batter what pitch is coming.
One of the positives that isn't talked about is that it is tough on the knees to go into a full squat and get up a couple of hundred times a game.
The one-knee works well 99% of the time. And I have to stop watching pre-and post-game shows. I hate the 'I'm not going to research, but I'm going to rant things.
