Keys to blocking pitches in the dirt from a knee down set up!

Knee down set ups are not for everyone. But if you’re a catcher who’s decided to get on a knee in a blocking situation, here are some keys to success. Main points: 1. GET YOUR MIND RIGHT! You need to be ready to block so anticipate (don't guess) the ball being in the dirt so your prepared to move. 2. Adjust your set up accordingly. Adjust foot position, amount of leg extension/flexion and be ready to move in the direction you need to move. Again, I always recommend you stay on your feet in blocking situations but if you decide to get on a knee, these are some of the keys to successfully blocking a pitch in the dirt from a knee. ✅ Stay Connected With Me. 👉Facebook: / thecatchingguy 👉Instagram: / the_catchin. . 👉Twitter(X) : / thecatchingguy 👉TikTok: / thecatchingguy 👉Shopify Store: https://ift.tt/aVRqPBG 👉The Catchers Toolkit: https://bit.ly/45foMRP 👉The Catching Guy FREE Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/44QrBsG 👉The Catching Guy VIP Facebook Group (For people in a subscription group or who bought a program): https://bit.ly/3DMmFt3 ✅ For Business Inquiries: teamcoburn@thecatchingguy.com ============================= ✅ Recommended Playlists 👉Throwing Fundamentals: • Stop The Struggle: Perfect Your Catch... 👉Game Savvy Tips: • Tips For Pitch Calling & Pitch Sequen... 👉Characteristics of a Successful Catcher: • Catch, Block, Lead: Essential Qualiti... ✅ Other Videos You Might Be Interested In Watching: 👉 Ball drop and catch for grip and shoulder strength • Boost Your Catching Skills: Ball Drop... 👉 Learn how to block pitches in the dirt better with this Catchers Blocking Drill Progression. • Master Pitch Blocking: A Comprehensiv... 👉 Decrease your release & pop time w/ this simple drill! • Improve Your Game: Simple Drill to De... 👉 HS team loses championship on dropped third strike mistake by the catcher. • Baseball Championship Lost: A Lesson ... 👉 Throwing from a knee-down setup, what do you prefer? • Top Catcher's Technique: Throwing fro... ============================= ✅ About Todd Coburn - The Catching Guy.
