Yes, please more catcher videos. My 9 year old son catches and your mound visit video has done wonders for his team. Hes implamented having 1st and 3rd help pay attention to the pitcher as well!

Your 3rd tip reminds me of a kid I frequently see hanging out at the baseball facility I go to. He is always looking for pitchers to throw at him.

I'm a pitcher in a competitive adult rec league, and he caught for me multiple times over the winter while I was working on my splitter. Splitter was perfect because he wanted to work on his blocking.

Alejandro Kirk is 5’ 8” and 245 pounds this means I have to gain weight up to 70 pounds to be like him lol just joking but he does weight that much and he’s pretty good

Good stuff as usual. Working in front of the Mirror never occurred to me until now. 💪

Hey coach,
My daughter is a catcher and was wondering if you had any videos for softball catchers. Thank you in advance

I’m a ten year old catcher. Thank u for the tips

Video topic idea for you: Any tips for pitching on a mound with loose sand/dirt? A huge divot forms from the other pitcher, and your foot is landing near that spot but not exactly on it, so the ankle has to do a lot of work to stabilize everything. You can kick dirt in the hole, but it just gets moved aside again after a few pitches.

I've always just shortened my stride in this situation (by a lot, the catcher notices the shorter stride) so that I can block and stabilize consistently. Logic being that blocking, stabilizing, and rotating is more critical to success than a longer stride; and even leg drive. That's just what I've done; Don't actually know if it's the best approach.

What are your thoughts?

Hey, Coach, Sure wish I would have had this in the late 60’s when I started to catch. Mighty fine! My influence was #5 on tv watching with my grandpa!
