@LongGone141 stay low. imagine a you are being shot out of a cannon or imagine a ceiling you have to stay under. this will help your quickness. also, to strengthen your arm big time. after warming up, stand 90 feet away and throw 20 throws at 99% for 3 days. take a day off. then 95 feet, 20 throws, 3 days, day off. then 100', 20 throws, 3 days, day off, before long, you will be throwing 200' on that same line. i caught for miss state university in 90s.throwing was my strength. 1.79 time.
I'm a 16 year old varsity catcher and I throw round a 2.0 to second with really good accuracy. Id like for you guys to watch and give me some constructive criticism and advice.
Good quick exchange and footwork. At the whichita state catchers camp they stressed the fact that you throw people out with quick hands an quick feet and all the arm does is guide the ball.
I cosistantly got 2.0 to 2.1. Very good but not 1.81 as advertised. I got 2.09 on the throw that was supposedly 1.81. Not hating, but not 1.81 either.
well even if it is 1.81 which i did not get for any throws..you still need to take off a few tenths because u your body wouldn't be facing first base in a game. so get in your normal squat position (facing the pitcher) and then repost.
@abradley211 That's not true at all. Sure, squaring off your body off is what I consider proper, but it has VERY little effect on your throw down. Infact, doing that will influence you to sweep your hands and your feet go off to the side. The only large effect on your poptime's difference from practice like this and in-game, is the batter. You can't cheat.
@noahmcdx actually it is true...when you have to take smaller steps it will take time off of your throw. Smaller steps are made by when your already facing halfway towards the way you want to be going.
@abradley211 No, that doesn't make sense. Smaller steps=slimmer base, so a weaker throw. And also, being off-centered doesn't make you take smaller steps. That doesn't even make sense. All it does is make you sweep your hands and have bad footwork. Your right hip has to move first. It can't move first when your body is off-centered, and if it doesn't move first, you can't keep your chest up, and your head will be ahead of your feet.
got solid movement to release and nice soft hands to go w it. you explode forward well, though you lose some momentum as you release, which then weakens the throw and makes you wild...maybe try to conserve some of the explosion until you're about to actually throw. also long toss, long toss :)
I imagine he's thinking (not really, but my guess this is how someone explained it to him) that he's trying to replace his left foot with his right because he gets his feet out to the left of the plate. This results in the upper body leaning over the plate a bit (it looks better in the 2nd angle) and the follow through falling to his right. I feel like if his feet got under him more, more straight towards 2nd, you could see a big improvement in arm strength
look at the way he pops the ball to 1st on the bunts, then compare that to the field angle on the throws where the ball hangs up or he bounces it to 2nd (body even less upright on that one). He's losing a lot of arm strength in his release. Please don't take it the wrong way, just trying to be constructive. There's always room for improvement.
Nice throws man. My take is that pop times are really splitting hairs. What's the difference between a 1.81 and a 2.01 anyways? 2 tenths of a second! Do you realize how little time that is and how easily stopwatch errors can make that difference? Look at his arm strength and mechanics.
He's got a pretty quick release but I feel like he could throw at least a bit harder if he got hit feet under him just a tad more.
@541994000 2.3 isnt bad for a freshman in hs. just keep doing long toss and working on quick feet and hands. Anything under 2.0 now a days is considered impressive for a hs player

i am a catcher myself and applaud other catchers when in order, but there is ABSOLUTELY no way that this kid is popping a 1.81. Who ever was timing this guy was boosting harrrrrdcore
just do it yourself bro.. go to ONLINE STOPWATCH on google.. click the first link.. put your video up next to the stopwatch. start it when the ball HITS YOUR GLOVE and stop it when it HITS THE FIELDERS GLOVE. that 1.83 is over 2
i have professional exp. at pop times, i was clocking his, lowest i got, was a 1.92. I thought it was funny when you said, 1.81 when that one was actually 2.11! He's not that good for a senior. I have been scouting, this kid Jordyn Cruz, 5' 10" 185lbs catcher. He is a Freshman at Vero Beach High School, Florida. This kid is throwing down consitant 1.9's and hits the ball for power. Can't wait to see when he gets older. 100% MLB potential.
my pop times have been recorded my college and professional scouts. the person putting the stopwatch in front of the camera was a scout. im sorry your stop watch isnt working right
@wizwalking just because the stopwatch says scout on it doesn't mean he is a scout..haha. but 1.92 is good..stick with that. not close to 1.81. that is better than Yadier Molina. Quit bullshitting.
@baseballnovas Why dont you stop putting kids down. I dont think he gives a shit about someone else, and how good they are. He is trying to do the best he can to get into college or get drafted somewhere. Stop being an ass.
I was in that postion. I got mine into the 1.8's but I didn't have time to get it dialed 100% all the time. from what I see, it looks like you're having trouble getttin planted at the exact time you need to be. That's why you'r not completely connected on a lot of those throw downs. body work and the arm coming through are exactly. good separtation..but not always connected on every attempt. (if that makes any sense..)
Whoever is timing you needs to be assassinated.. My times 1.82 consistent and yours is 1.93 at best
