MLB Catchers Drills: Receiving and Blocking
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2024
- Basic no runners on receiving stance and drill; followed by basic technique for blocking balls in the dirt. Note different stance--runners on base or 2 strikes on batter--with butt higher up and feet spread wider. Note throwing hand behind mitt when blocking (last few examples the catchers could do a better job shielding their throwing hand with the mitt while waiting for the ball--would prefer to see our catchers hold the hand balled up in a fist touching the back of the mitt while waiting for the pitch).

I'm a catcher in high school and playing catcher is the hardest postion
If you're a good catcher it should be a fun position because you're basically the leader of the infield! Both my older sons played catcher and pitcher,now they're 35 and 26. My oldest was a great catcher who made a few bad decisions and ran with a bad crowd behind my back,he was being scouted by a few teams but that went down the drain. My 26 yr old played catcher then went straight to the Marine Corp after high school. Now I have a 9 yr old who plays catcher, pitcher and second base,obviously he's to young to work only on 1 position but he's definitely has the skills to p[lay anywhere in the infield. Keep working at your position my friend, good catchers are very hard to come by. Who knows it may take you to the Big Show! Good Luck in your career!!!!
David Nelams how is your son in the corps doing? Very thankful for his service
No
I am ten years old and I love it
I agree. I play with 7th and 8th graders when I’m in 5th. I play catcher and it is so hard.
2:30 How the hell did he toss the ball up like that 😂
as a catcher im torn between metal and plastic cleats
If you only catch and aren't that much of a base runner than go with plastic but if you play other positions often or are a threat on the base paths, you should go with metal. Personally I prefer metal when catching, but that's me.
DAVID ADAIR I bet it was the little league Dodgers
Matt Rosas get Bryce Harper's cleat, has both
What was that second glove he was using? I want one of those they seem to be really flexible
Solerdude. an equalizer
Solerdude the equalizer is a training mitt so don't use it in games it's for practicing catching in the pocket.
Solerdude the other one I believe is called the cm3000
The blocking drill at 1:10 has me lowkey pissed. My whole life catching and every decent catching coach I've had makes me kick my legs back while dropping and if I rock forward like he is I usually get laps or push ups... but nope just a pro doing it casually...
both are great techniques... kicking your legs back helps if you are late into your block. But not sure you should be getting laps for being on time for your blocks. :/
You are correct Andrew! This video is useless!!!!! Other than showing the special glove
Usable videos are kinda rare. This is only the second video I've seen of yours since subscribing; ,and I sure like the
Amén
what kind of all star glove was that
The black one?
Its the equalizer training mitt
You dont know about it otherwise you dont know none about baseball you are fake beisbol fanatico mama guevo
I don't play catcher but I did once in rec ball it's fun I was just scared I'd do bad.
Which model is the black glove with the wrist guard? Pretty sharp! 34"?
I also have the same question, and what is the difference in skills? is more professional?
I don't know the different All-Star models (I'm a Rawlings guy anyway)--I'm really more interested in the techniques being shown here rather than the gear. That's the real value in watching this video.
HeadwatersDesign Absolutely!! The technique being shown is not just blocking, but directing the block to the mouth of the plate. Much like directional deflections from Hockey Goalies. Another thing for Young catchers to pay attention to is "butt up and heels flat" and the "frame catch". Arms never moved however, EVERY caught pitch in this clip was framed. Much different than the "80's" fundamentals. Thanks for sharing.
Its called the equilizer by all star
Its called the equalizer 35" glove makes you catch it in the pocket
All fun and games until you miss a ball with the equalizer and it busts your throwing hand
yeah
Dios bendice amen y salva amen
Awesome!
Nice
I need to work on blocking. Does anybody know how to do these drills if I don't have a pitch machine
GoProGuy You can line up some baseballs in a straight line in front of you with about 3 to 4 feet in between each ball. Then you can work on getting to the proper blocking position and dropping down in front of the ball. You move up the line and keep doing the proper blocking technique. You can also have someone throw the balls to you instead of using a pitching machine.
Do with 2 people. get a bucket of tennis balls and home to third then start when the other person throws the tennis ball in the ground you block it same thing all the way to third base.
La bendiciónes De Dios son perfecta
Así seré yo con Dios por delante 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have all star gear its awesome
Can I get that black mitt
What's a good catcher's mitt for beginners?
Gg elite Rawlings 120$
Only real catchers know how many times you jam your pinky when blocking a ball
You mean fake ones because your bare hand goes behind the glove
Someone on my team broke their thumb
Nick Chevalier never has that happened to me, but I did jam my pinky sliding back into 2nd base
I have nearly broken my pinky diving back to 1st
Yup cuse it harts bad
i wish luke still played he looks like a good catcher
he does but he is a free agent so I guess you could say he isn't active on a milb or mlb roster
who is this catcher ? 2:30
Here is the thing the ball is right to the catcher and I'm a catcher the ball is never into my glove. I'm diving everywhere
Sam Orlowski I play in a u11 league so I'm always diving and making catches. I throw people out and catch foul pop flies, and I get bunts
Sam Orlowski I know often you have to dive but my recommendation as a junior in high school is squat high enough to shuffle left or right and also have good blocking range, next if it's outside of your range of motion your best bet is to just to the backstop (as long as it's a deep backstop) and get ready for it coming off the backstop. Better than trying to get off the ground and find it
Who n is it nessisary to block a wild pitch
Like only if there is a runner on base or always
Brady Bell You should always try to block the ball.
+FaWxReMix It's not completely necessary with no one on. That's also assuming there isn't 2 strikes on the batter.
Ok thanks 👍
Always try to block the ball. When your catching you set the mentality and energy for the rest of the team so if your out there busting ass and showing positive energy, the team will follow. Not to mention it hurts the pitcher's mentality when he sees a shitty pitch go to the backstop rather than a chested up ball
why are they wearing molded cleats
easier on the feet... more contact points so less pressure points
How do they catch the ball the the glove so flush
whats the best catchers gear
Parker McDaniels I recommend Bombah its very comfy with extra cushions
the guy with the black chest plate has the same bracelet as me right now
The third catcher has make that hand into a fist and put it on his hip, very vulnerable spot to get hit by a fouls ball
yeah, the best spot for the hand is by the right foot, or left foot if the catcher throws with there left hand, it should also be loose.
How do these catcher's not hurt their hands when catching over 70 MPH pitches? xP
+TheMinecraftModderHD 2 I've met some catchers in/after college that say they lost the feeling of even catching the ball in their catching hand.
+Sean Seale I might join the LLWS Soon after I finish 8th grade.
+Sean Seale like about how long does it take for that effect to take place? Like a few months of games and training?
+TheMinecraftModderHD 2 like I said, these were people in college, minors or ex mlb and minors and college players. so it might take a long time
+TheMinecraftModderHD 2 It doesn't hurt, its all caught it the web which is off the hand
first guy kinda looks like tony stark
The first catcher be looking like hue Jackman
Matthew 3:2
Maybe get the second chain implementer.
this guy has 666k views
well if you were a real catcher then you should know you never expose your hand when blocking a ball
Parker McDaniels you do to get your hand behind you glove. You. Can't take a ball to the wrist/forearm/upper arm, stop catching
why does he look so mad
600e subsciber
this is copy right
Repent Jesus Christ is coming soon
Alaalallalaallalalalalala
It sucks
