It's become a bad habit in the last decade or so, going down to one knee
It's the new trend and has to do with the angle at which a catcher receives a pitch, the thought being it helps you steal a few strikes. I'm not a fan.

We also don't present a target for our pitchers. We flash our mitt here and there, but dont hold a target. It's sloppy.
