First move, any move, is critical to the success of the reception. Always tell our catchers, “think as you’re a two mirror. What does the Pitcher see, first. Secondly, what does the umpire see — most important.” With this particular C’s pre-pitch move, he’d want to lift his elbow first. Almost stabby at it. Umpire sees elbow up, may think pitch high (speculation). We asked him to try tightening the elbow to the body more. Honestly, IMO, made him smoother thru the catch.
