re: Whoever started coaching catchers on 1 knee

Shitty catchers can't block. It has nothing to do with their knee being down.
Untrue. Anyone who has played catcher knows you can move and push off to either direction when in the squatting position. If you are on one knee you can't move in either direction as effectively.
I have no problem with kneeling with no one on and less than two strikes, but as soon as the situation arises where you must be able to block a ball, you need to get in the correct position.

Moving toward or away from the kickstand is a better blocking reaction and efficiency
The only drop off is what would generally be a wild pitch well outside the catchers box.
Look I am over 50. My kid catches and I argued w him for years. Then I researched it. I also watch the best young catchers around and blocks and controlled blocks are better than ever
