Yes I mentioned that earlier - every catcher is different some hide the free hand in their hip, down beside their knee - at least provide some cover. In Jansens case it was totally exposed - still bad luck though
with runners on
otherwise it needs to be behind your back
yes 1st and 2nd with 2 out, yea I mentioned that in my post. Every catcher is different, could still place it up against his hip or down next to his knee instead it as completely exposed
just watched the replay he's lucky it didn't destroy his entire hand, he messed up, his right hand is supposed to be back and behind him, I think he might have been anticipating a stolen base - still terribly unlucky
