Obviously no way in hell I'm doing this with HS/youth. But definitely times when players are just standing where you need to be. Just go with a  loud "move please!" or take a different position?

I have, and would do so again.  (Well, maybe not as forcefully as that, but most HS/youth players aren't as big as that either.)

Who is the PU?

[elares]

looks like Cooper to me.

That was pretty forceful but I don't have a problem with simply moving a player.

Especially in youth/HS - don't go hands on with the players. Lots of video and lawyers out there.

Ask forcefully to get them to move.

It was Cooper.

Usually they're closer to the plate than I am so I'll just tap them on the back and tell them to back up.

What do you do when the throw is about to get in though?

To be honest with you, in the heat of the moment, I'd probably push them out of the way. I know that's probably not what I'm supposed to say but I think that's what I'd do.
