Catchers, please watch the videos and do the drills as much as you can. Don't forget to log your video and drill into the Catchers Videos chat room on the app.
Focus on Stance: The first catcher is in a basic receiving stance with no runners on. When runners are on or there are two strikes, you should sit with your butt up higher like the second catcher. Drill: have someone throw you 20 balls, some in the dirt, some not, and change the situations each time (man on, 2 strikes, etc.). Focus on the proper stance. When a man is on, pop up to throw the ball once you catch it.
Framing, blocking and bunt pop ups. Do the drills he showed you in the video. Do 20 balls per drill and 20 claps for the pop drill.
Advanced framing and receiving. This video really teaches you how to catch a ball as a catcher. It will save your thumb! He goes through the drills on the video. Very good stuff!
Want to throw runners out? Listen to this video. Catch it, get it out, foot work. Stay on the T. Stay under the rope. Short step (not on the plate).
When you get it right, it looks like this!
