Catch, Block, Throw It instructional video. CATCH, BLOCK, THROW Catching Camp. Passionate about catching

Shorts

Great example on importance of serving others in leadership role. One skill lacking many catchers on all levels is how to excel in servant leadership. Roberts shows w/between inning talk and post game comments. Importance of being in sync w/P and serving the P. Not easy and takes training/reminders/communication. Being on same page in P calling. Body language when it goes wrong. Not letting poor AB’s carry over to field. Lot of heat on Dalton Rushing. Has caught 74 big league games. Not a full time C in minor leagues. All C’s have been in that spot. Frustrated with self because of hitting, miss a pitch, P not throwing K’s, ect. we react. It happens. Key is awareness of it and limiting those times!

Quick relay wild pitch. Our POV is to create some drills that promote athletic movements. Can be done after catch play, in bullpen waiting on pitchers, pre- game to warm up, part of training session. With ball or dry run.
