Hello! I've been catching for almost 4 years now, and just wanted to say this video is incredible. It took you 7 minutes (with editing) to explain how to have good form on a ball in the dirt. Alot of guys I see teaching this stuff takes years for their students to actually be able to do this stuff perfectly. Blocking is one of the hardest parts of catching. Great vid, keep it coming.
one of the benifits of a good blocking catcher is that a pitcher can throw offspeed stuff that ends in the dirt and that opens a whole new option in getting a batter out / great channel guys thanks
I was catching in a game last week, and I signed for a curve, and my pitcher thought is was a changeup, so I went to block it and the ball hit me straight in the wrist.
Where can you find that mask and helmet? I can only find umpires mask. And yes, I know this is off topic. Also I will be sure to practice and use these tricks!
GLITCH it yourself idk most high school leagues do not allow 2 piece masks like in Ohio I am not allow to so nobody sells them but I go to NY for a tournament and go to Dicks because I forgot something I see them at Dicks
Hi Coach Madden, I was wondering how I could be more intimidating as a pitcher. I throw hard and am very strong, but want people to be scared when they walk up to the plate.
lol throw your face at it to block the ball if you have to...that's what I told my 7yo son...use your face to stop the ball if you have too. Thank for another great video.
Your thumbnail makes no sense. You're connecting blocking with passed balls? There is no connection with those two things. You block wild pitches. Passed balls are good catchable pitchers the catcher simply misses and a runner advances.
I play softball so it’s a windmill pitch and a catcher for 2 pitchers usually a game I cheat on one because sometimes it goes crazy but on one pitcher she’s very accurate but slow so I’ve ever let like 2 balls past
There’s something so satisfying about a good block
Right
Yea
@@gravity3970 imagine how hockey goalies feel robbing someone by catching it.
No cap

I love blocking it’s my second favorite thing to do in the game
@Rohan Lal probably make sand castles in the dirt
I just started catching today and I’m getting my gear tomorrow so this video is going to help me with the fundamentals of blocking.
If you don't have a bruise on you and you are a catcher, you are either lucky or not blocking right.
👊😉
Dylan Clay, with all due respect you are right but you do have on gear as a catcher and your globe either catches it or your bear blocks it
Lol
I’m a catcher and I have bruises all over from blocking.
When ever it bounces in front of the plate, it gunna hit my arm or thigh but i dont have bruises
Thanks for the tips it was great
Thanks! I’ve been a catching for nearly 2 years and just found out I was stopping the ball wrong lol!
I am in 12u and me using this is good so I will get us to it
I love catchers
Me too.
Catchers are a diff breed of player
one of the benifits of a good blocking catcher is that a pitcher can throw offspeed stuff that ends in the dirt and that opens a whole new option in getting a batter out / great channel guys thanks

Blocking is the worst part about catching but maybe the most important
I was catching in a game last week, and I signed for a curve, and my pitcher thought is was a changeup, so I went to block it and the ball hit me straight in the wrist.

Seams are a badge of honor

For me I just couldn’t block in games because of a mental block. But once I got past that mental block I wouldn’t let a ball past me.

Catch the ball with your belly button

xdmexicandefaults thx Im new to
I am new catcher too
I play softball so it’s a windmill pitch and a catcher for 2 pitchers usually a game I cheat on one because sometimes it goes crazy but on one pitcher she’s very accurate but slow so I’ve ever let like 2 balls past
You gotta have balls to block balls
I am the best catcher in 2 of my areas I play in
Today - get off of one knee. Thats all.
I am working on catching I’m only 8 and I’m am the most famous one in my league
The worst thing as a catcher is a foul tip to the mask
justsubscribed ! Negative. A foul tip that bounces off the plate into your sac.
@SL1NKY that too
I does not really hurt me when I get foul tipped in the nuts id worse
That happened to me today
