You spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time. - Jim Bourbon

"Perfect laser bullet missile" is a pretty accurate description of this throw.

Daniel Susac with the best pop time of the day!

This three minutes is well worth your time. 🤣

Jim Day tries a Skyline Chili Egg Roll and John Sadak and Cowboy Jeff Brantley can’t stop laughing. 🤣

Incredible content.

Michael Kay with a tribute to John Sterling using his signature call after an Aaron Judge HR. Some things.

Rogers wins a challenge for his pitcher and gets the strikeout, but loses one as a hitter on strike three.

Overturned Challenge %
Catchers: 60%
Hitters: 47%

Without hard data to back it up, it seems like hitters are more emotional challengers and catchers are more logical challengers.

[Brendan Kelliher @catchingwithbk]

@LynkSpyder @xanbarksdale As of right now, hitters are correct 47% of the time. Defense has a higher success rate with 61%. I think it could be advantageous to force hitters to challenge because they’re wrong more often. The chances they waste a challenge is higher. Just my 2 cents.

When reviewing/analyzing catchers throwing this STATCAST data might be the most important piece of the puzzle that most people don't ever have access to.

Stay tuned for an announcement coming soon!

Baseball is back.

Matt O’Niell opens the spring with a 1.96 pop time on this caught stealing.

He gets rid of it in .67 seconds at 79.6 mph.

[Xan Barksdale @xanbarksdale]

I'm going to start posting every Monday with rundown of the catchers on the Buster Posey Award Watch List (#BPAWL).

I would REALLY appreciate it if you would tag me, or send me, any clips of these guys that you see!

The main goal is to share highlights and updates of the top college catchers in the country!

We've been hard a work for over a year creating a new training aid for pitchers. Super excited to officially launch it at #ABCA2026

Come check out our booth and try the Ravik Spin Command Baseball

[Jake Lindmeier @jakelindy2021]

Building out a catcher, many pieces go into the puzzle.

There are pieces on this board that have many pieces under it as the umbrella.

What stands out?

#CatcherCON25 continues to push my beliefs and standards as a coach. Thankful to be a part of a community like it!

[Xan Barksdale @xanbarksdale]

Absolutely love having All-Star at #CatcherCON25!

The MVP isn’t the best hitter award, that’s the Hank Aaron Award. The MVP should (idk why this is so hard to grasp) go to the player who is… y’know… the most VALUABLE.

Cal Raleigh plays a more VALUABLE position, had a historic season and guided his team to new heights.

[Brendan Kelliher @catchingwithbk]

This award is based on overall value. The guy who hit the most home runs, led the division with RBIs, and actually makes a positive impact on defense should probably have the award.

[MLB Network @MLBNetwork]

Tip of the 🧢 to Cal Raleigh on a historic 2025 season! 👏

- Led MLB with 60 HR
- Led AL with 125 RBI
- Single-season HR record by a primary catcher
- Single-season HR record by a switch-hitter
- Single-season HR record by a Mariner

[Ted Smith @TheeTedSmith]

The fact he didn’t win AL MVP is a travesty
