A very common fault with young inexperienced catchers is getting “loopy,” or allowing their throwing hand to go down and/or out when pulling the ball out of the mitt. Catchers need to have what I call a “short take away” and make sure the ball stays above and inside the elbow. This is a great drill to force catchers to go up out of the mitt. Simply putting something in the way will give the catcher immediate feedback if they get long.
