LHP Cooper Jones (‘27 NJ) has been cruising through his first 3 innings of work sitting in the high-80’s w/ the FB (T90), a high-70’s wipeout SL, and a CH; showing command of his entire repertoire while racking up 7K’s; quick arm action coming from a 3/4 arm slot; @NUCatsBaseball commit. #WWBA @PGMidAtlantic
‘27 RHP Derek Yormack (NY) showed a big heater, running it up to 95 mph. Gets down the mound really well w/ big extension. Also showed slurvy breaker. #VandyBoys commit. #UBCEast@PRD_Scouting
‘27 C Evan Paul (FL) one hopped the wall here the other way for a late double. Opposite field strength & power really plays. #Miami commit. #UBCEast@PRD_Scouting
‘27 C Evan Paul (FL) throws out a runner trying to steal. Smooth pick and tag from ‘27 SS Juan Diaz. Miami commit on the throw, FSU commit on the catch & tag. #UBCEast@Florida_PG

Most catchers lose this strike instantly.
Watch how this 2027 Miami commit owns the bottom of the zone:
low athletic setup
glove works underneath the ball
bent elbow on impact
thumb stays underneath ball
Focus on not going too early and not letting the baseballs momentum take your glove back down
At higher levels, one extra strike can change an entire at-bat. That's why advanced catchers train presentation just as much as blocking and throwing. Thank you coach Spernal! @Salty39J@c_dominguez15@32JonnyA
