Someone on here mentioned their daughter has their hand at or near their chest when receiving the ball. When I started catching, I used the same approach. But, my game evolved to where I put my throwing hand behind my calf. I feel like it's a better spot to have my hand as far as being protected.
AFA, the umpire being able to see where the ball was received, I really don't have many problems in that department seeing as I'm short at 5'2. Plus when I am crouched down in my receiving stance, the ump really doesn't have many problems seeing the ball. Unless said ump has to be down near my level...then it's a crapshoot.
