Thank you @hossjob and @TreadHQ for letting us tour the complex. It’s amazing. A special thanks to Kyle for working with @trinitysander1 a little bit on a crazy day. It was great seeing you and catching up a little. Nothing better than some swings after a 9 hour drive.
Proud dad moment. The only freshman invited to the hitting camp at Lourdes college. Walking in and the coach knowing her by name is pretty amazing. Win the day kid. Keep grinding.
Athleticism, no fear & solid technique by Realmuto!
Keys:
-Mask on
-Only stray from plate if throw makes you
-Stay on feet to get back to tag after reception
-Tag w/ 2 hands & protect ball when possible
-Be aggressive w/ tag & understand there will probably be contact
He gone!
Almost done. Glue is still drying, logos put in thanks to @hmr218 for making me a couple stencils. Now keep bring gear back in and a little infill here and there. Tomorrow carry about 500 pounds of weight out before lessons and hopefully all will be good.
UNREAL PLAY BY HIGASHIOKA
WITH 2 OUTS & BASES LOADED
He’s expecting a FB,most of which have been in the 97-100 MPH range, & Cole throws a nasty curveball & Higashika catches it.Hard to explain how exceptional that play was. Impossible to prepare for that situation @ those speeds.
Austin Hedges - SD Padres.
Explanation of mitt prep/load for different pitches and matching angles back to the plate.

Have to be calm during the storm and sometimes you need a fighter's mentality-Emotion! What buttons to push and how to react is to some degree a skill set. Wear many hats as a catcher at times
FYI, Michael Jordan played football, basketball AND baseball in High School. Remember this the next time someone tells you to specialize. The 🐐 didn’t.
