When a person is on first base, it would be well [for the catcher] to stand closer to the bat, but no nearer than is necessary to take the ball on the fly. It would be well to practice throwing from different positions behind the bat, so as to be accustomed to a change on pace or pitcher. He should arrange signs with the pitcher, so as to be ready for a change in pace.
