@ModernDay_Coach The offseason was everything for me. It’s where I learned how to prepare and improve when no one was watching.
That’s why we built @ModernDay_Coach — to pass that structure on to the next generation.
Come join me and @zvincej this offseason at @NTCCary

🧵 Why the Offseason Matters
Most players treat the offseason like a break.
The best players treat it like an opportunity.
The truth is — this is where real development happens.
Here’s why 👇

Tuck was awesome!! From the day I first met him in Spring Training 2009, he always invited me over to big league camp to work with the MLB catchers. I learned so much from those experiences.
One of the chapters I’m most passionate about in ‘The Modern Day Catcher’ is “Building Rapport with Pitchers”. It’s a commonly misperceived aspect of the catcher’s game. With many players transitioning to catching later in their careers, they often miss out on this essential part of the position. It’s not just about catching pitches; it’s about forging a deep understanding and trust with the pitcher. This rapport is the foundation of a successful battery, influencing game outcomes more than most realize. Every aspiring catcher should prioritize this relationship.

The catching position has seen significant changes over the past 10 years. From technology to techniques, everything has evolved. I felt the need to provide a resource that captures this evolution and offers guidance for the next generation. #GivingBack#MLBJourney#Catching
I'm proud of how the boys played this season! It made my first year coaching in the big leagues a ton of fun.
Throughout the year, as I dove into the catching position, I noticed a significant gap in resources for young catchers, especially regarding the evolution of the position in the last decade. There isn't much information that outlines what being a catcher entails.
To address this, I'm thrilled to introduce "The Modern Day Catcher", a guide that captures the changes and offers insights for the next generation. #TheModernDayCatcher #Catching #Baseball
