Thanks for the ideas Coach! We do something similar with the signs but keep it more simplified for our kids since they're still young and sometimes confuse themselves easily. Something we have is a sign for the pitcher to check a runner if they're not paying attention or to cocky with a big lead off of a base. When they see another sign it's an immediate throw to the base indicated by the catcher and we even have code words from certain position players if needed too.
Enjoy your videos. In college, the catcher would give us a series of five signs. You add up the first three for pitch type (6 change, 7 breaking ball, 8 fastball), the fourth sign was location (1 inside off plate through 4 outside off plate), and the fifth sign was a dummy
I'm just saying...he's a beast! Actually, he and I played at Auburn together, Stevie Delabar was my roommate, and Greg Burke is a dear friend of mine. All with the Blue Jays this year so it's kind of hard to root against them. Plus they got Bautista!
YouGoPro ya I know I'm actually a blue jays fan because I'm from canada....josh donaldson is my favorite player and I knew you played with him so I figured you would be rooting for him...was he a catcher at auburn
I used an auto shake off sign. I would just put down my fist. Put those down a few time per inning and it would really mess with the batter. 2-0 3-0 2-1 3-1 whatever was a good time for a fastball for sure. Then first pitch and I’d love to throw a first pitch slider with some of the better hitters. Or just like 5-7 straight so the batter has no idea. The throw a heater down the middle.
I just watched a video where a runner on second tipped off his batter by putting both hands on his helmet and buddy hit the pitch. I came straight to this video afterwards lol
WTF....... this is why I have a love hate for baseball so try to physically hurt someone’s cranium a lifetime of damage for a fucking game smh yea imma stick to football basketball soccer and tennis
I've been mystified by this for about 45 years. This is the first time in my life I've ever heard/watched catchers signals explained. Thank you.
My wife and I found this to be well done, really well done. We loved it and learned a lot.
Always love learning different out looks on the game. Gained a new fan here. And sick hoody

Awesome! Great ideas!

This is really helpful!! Thanks so much.
I'm just getting into baseball and know nothing about it but what a great, informative video. Thanks.
I'am late to discovering your channel. But its better late than never right? Subscribed :)
Nice! Never knew about the signes. Thanks ⚾🏆
Saw the name and was waiting for "Hi I'm John Madden and to-to-today we're gonna be showing you guys how to, how to play some ba-baseball!"
LOL
Thanks now I know earlier about what the sights mean keep up the great work
Thank you sir for the great explanation. I always wondered how they communicated. 🙏🏽
Great tips and explanation. Now just move that website ad out of where we are trying to see your fingers... eyeroll.
Like the A's shorts lol and good vid i appreciated it
Not sure if I'm an A's fan this year. Liked them last year. I think I'm going Blue Jays this season! Who's your team?

Awesome video thanks
Great video dude! Thanks
Great tips can you do more hitting tips on how to hit certain balls and how to be a consistent hitter
Sure. What exactly do you want to see?
What do you do for the locations of the pitch
One thing was missing, the acceptance of the sign by the pitcher. Otherwise, very cool.
Thanks man
Hey, I thought I recognized your name there from when you were with the Eugene Emeralds. Good video, thanks.
Yep, I played at Eugene. Did you go to the games?

how can you steal signs as a batter
cheater! lol
Ricky R look lol
If you get caught get ready for a ball to your dome.
Former professional baseball player? What league, team and when?
+dcsoupman Padres and Mets organizations 2005-2010
What would happen if no communication of pitches was done? Just have the pitcher throw without any signals being done. How about that?
What’s your website called
really great vid
I just watched a video where a runner on second tipped off his batter by putting both hands on his helmet and buddy hit the pitch. I came straight to this video afterwards lol
I still can't do it !
a lot of help I'm in little league major
Thanks I can be better at catching
catchers shouldn't have to worry about hitters stealing signs. If a hitter steals a sign, knock his helmet off and he won't do it again.
the runners will relay the signs tho
WTF....... this is why I have a love hate for baseball so try to physically hurt someone’s cranium a lifetime of damage for a fucking game smh yea imma stick to football basketball soccer and tennis
Check out this video on TH-cam:
I’m here just so I can beat my friend at MLB The Show
omg
The bottom line is sign stealing is part of the game! Just don't use cameras and trash cans and binoculars ..that is absolutely silly.
Why don't you just throw what you want ?
