Try it out, if it works use it if it doesn’t don’t. My personal opinion is to use it when no runners are on and use traditional when runners are on.

Either way the catching position is going to change even more and receiving won’t matter if the automated strike zone is put in place.

That being said my son now a senior was raised on the traditional, but as he grew (he’s now 6’3″ big catchers must accommodate umpires who give you a low zone . He only uses this one leg style with no runners on base. I also believe a good catcher with fast reflexes can stop passed balls in any position and ball transfer combine with a throwing velo of 85mph or higher solves the stealing issue.
