Great Drill to Improve Timing While Receiving!

A very common mistake, especially for inexperienced catchers, is to lift the mitt early from the load and end up above the pitch. The catcher needs to keep their mitt down, below the pitch, as long as possible so when they move to receive it, their mitt is moving toward the strike zone. The “fake flip” drill is a great way to train the catcher to keep their mitt down. 🔔 Subscribe now to learn the art of catching up through camps, virtual training, and exclusive social media content: https://t.ly/lv-re ✅ Stay Connected With Me. 👉Facebook: / thecatchingguy 👉Instagram: / the_catching_guy 👉Twitter(X): / thecatchingguy 👉TikTok: / thecatchingguy 👉Shopify Store: https://ift.tt/c6bVX3Y 👉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... ✅ Other Videos You Might Be Interested In Watching: 👉 Ball drop and catch for grip and shoulder strength • Boost Your Catching Skills: Ball Drop... 👉 Catcher Back Picks - Have your sign system in place! • Perfect Your Back Picks: Have Your Si... 👉 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 ... ============================= ✅ About Todd Coburn - The Catching Guy.

Best Blocking Drill Series to get Comfortable w/ Ball Hitting the Body

In my opinion, the most important component to blocking success is mindset. And there are two components to mindset. 1. No fear (instincts say move, catchers need to go against their instincts and jump in front). 2. Anticipate (A lot of times a catcher will know the pitch is going to bounce due to knowing their pitchers tendencies). Use this drill series to help develop confidence and comfort with the ball contacting the body. Once a catcher is comfortable with the ball hitting them, THEN they can have no fear.

The most important thing in throwing - Mindset!

There are several key components to throwing success. In my opinion, number one on the list is mindset or what is going on between the catchers ears. A catcher needs to have confidence in their abilities and anticipate or know who the fast runners are. The “Johnny Bench” mindset of “I can throw out any man alive” is what I mean by confidence. If you pay attention to the stats of the other team if you have them and/or body type and position the opposing players play, you’ll have a good idea of who will attempt to steal.

TOPICS: Moving the ball, getting on a knee, throwing & blocking from a knee down set up.

The fact that these topics are still being debated blows my mind. The game is evolving and the position of catcher is evolving… evolve with it or get left behind.
