These catcher initiated timing picks are becoming an almost nightly occurrence. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… if you’re not incorporating these into your games, you should be! #catcherslife #catcherscamp #thelifeofacatcher

THIS WEEKEND! ONLY TWO SPOTS LEFT! Message me “Rosa” and I’ll get you what you need to grab one of the last spots. #catcherscamp #catchertraining

Super athletic pick and back pick by Kirk! Best times to back pick are on a missed or pulled back bunt attempt OR, a bounced pitch that you pick. The base runner will almost always extend their secondary and be easy pickin’s.

I got asked about Mask or mask off when catching a pop up… I said it’s a matter of preference but if you do take it off, toss it to the umpire so you don’t step on it. 😂

One of my all-time favorite throws! Why? 1. It’s Yadi! 2. The baby blue gear is fire! 3. He threw out Acuna! 4. The knee throw technique is 👌 He gone! 💪🔥

Here’s 30 sec of some of the best catchers in baseball receiving pitches in Shadow Zone 13 (basically down & in righty/down & away lefty). There are consistent things the best receiving catchers do to get these pitches that are on or just off the edge of the zone called strikes.

If you get in a LKD set up in throwing situations, option to use when runner goes is transition/hop into a traditional secondary to make throw. Here are 2 minutes of Garrett Stubbs using this technique. Watch to end to see all of his six caught stealing’s this season.

This is NOT an easy pitch to throw on and Dillon Dingler still gets a .69 release! When the pitch is low, especially low arm side, you have got to stay down longer to make a clean reception. Impressive and fun to watch! 🔥💪 #catchertraining

Whether it’s a missed hit & run sign or not, having the base runner stop because they’re out by so much is 🔥! Bailey is tied for the most runners caught stealing this season with 12. He’s pretty fun to watch! #thelifeofacatcher

When you combine strength, mobility and good mechanics you get some amazing throws! Watch the slo-mo of these Joe Mack throws closely. The exchange, the arm path, the arm shape, the scap load, the controlled mitt, the blocking of the front side… the list goes on and on! 🔥💪

One of, if not the best time to back pick is on a missed/pulled back bunt. Watch slo-mo closely. Drive up through LT leg, get ball to throwing hand efficiently & get RT foot planted immediately. We discuss picks at every camp. Message me & I’ll show you where I’m going to be.

Slow is smooth and smooth is quick! 💪 Padres prospect Ethan Salas with the smooooth moves to throw the runner out at second! He gone! 🔥 #thelifeofacatcher

Cool angle of Gabriel Moreno taking his time with his movements between innings then unleashing a bullet! 🔥💪 #thelifeofacatcher

Here is about 90 seconds of Hunter Goodman’s pre game. 1. Heavy ball receiving (notice coach changes angles and/or location almost every flip). 2. Live machine receiving (2-knee side saddle, LKD, RKD & RKD kicked out). 3. Two knee exchanges w/ extra ball. 4. Throwing routine.
