Receiving work

[Catch & Throw @Catch_and_Throw]

Showing confidence and leadership in yourself by asking the pitcher to bounce a pitch can help instill the trust between the pitcher and catcher. Just be sure to do your part and block the ball!

Think about a breaking ball( BB w/lateral break) pitchout especially in a sac bunt situation w/R on 1B(RHP vs. RHH) & U want a back pick from C w/1B holding @ 1B.(Could break 2B behind) Bunters tend 2 track BB's longer & R's maintain secondary leads & are more vulnerable 2 picks.

Love this. Great examples, Craig. https://t.co/Mk6GIIVaCO

The best teams make a big thing about the small things(Tom Caughlin). There are no little things, everything is important.

Simple drill to help prevent over striding with right foot. Put something in the way. This gives Catcher immediate feedback if they step too far because foot will hit or step on whatever they put between feet. Pick it up, put it down & get the ball on its way! #thelifeofacatcher

Want to impress coaches and scouts? Block balls in the dirt even when there are no runners on base. #Catching101

[Jerry Weinstein @JWonCATCHING]

This chart demos the value of receiving relative to runs saved. The number one defensive skill to help your team win is your ability to catch the ball efficiently. You must truly understand what makes this so & allocate sufficient time to develop & maintain this skill.

The best catchers have a “servant mentality.”Gandhi said it best.”The best way 2 find yourself is 2 lose yourself in the service of others.”

[Xan Barksdale @xanbarksdale]

Too many young catchers call way too many off-speed pitches. A well located fastball is the best pitch in baseball. #Catching101

#throwdownthursday I was asked to breakdown this throw by Maldonado. They asked, how does he throw the ball so dang hard... *Listen* #thelifeofacatcher
