Hey I'm 16 and ive played 2nd base all my life and i sometimes pitched. I really want to try out for catcher for my High School this February any tips? Thanks :)
I'm fifteen, almost sixteen, and I think catcher is my position. I've never played baseball before but I am trying out next year as a sophomore. Message me with tips and/ or words of encouragement! (No negative comments please- I know it's late for me to start and that the odds are stacked heavily against me. Don't need any more reminders.) Anything helps- I really want to be a catcher! Thanks, JG
@joeyman62995 im 12 but i play catcher. you dnt have to have the stance in this video. if you watch baseball on tv, im pretty sure Yadier Molina has a stance where hes squatting on one leg and has his other leg out like a goalie in hockey. i use that stance and it works well. oh, and if a runner steals, dont throw every time. if hes more than halfway there u dont have a chance and ur better off just keeping the ball.
@joeyman62995 drop your knees to the ground whenever you see a ball in the dirt....much easier to block the ball then trying to pick it out of the dirt
this catcher sucks hes to high, both his body and glove. If the catcher is high then the ump has to stand higher to see the plate and this will take away the lower part of the strike zone. The glove should be at the knees not at the belt. Belt high is the "cock shot" for most to all batters and at the end of the day the pitcher will have a sore neck from watching so many home runs. A ball at the knees will usually end up as an out ether a ground out or fly out.
when I saw the throw at 0:25 I thought this was a fake video, so at 0:40 when the guy was talking about wild pitches I thought he was going to miss it and hit him in the face. Although it wasn't fake and the catcher just sucks. Maybe he can form a team called scrub squad one day.
I also like how he would stand up to catch a ball, what is this nonsense?
oh thanks for making this video because when im catcher, i always fall down because im not balanced. So thanks. And the hand signals u said about in the video helped me. so THANKS!
i am a catcher and i go to a bunch of camps and ik for a fact u are suppose to stay down when u catch the ball. the kid in the video would stand to catchit u wat to have the least movemt as posssible.
it sure is a good idea to make a video about the catching mechanics, but the guy in the video doesnt look like he is a catcher. the hints given are good, but the execution is not that good. good video though
there's no way that throw got anywhere near second...the hardest problem i had to learn, believe it or not, was calling pitches where the opposing team couldn't seen them. we had two cathers on varsity, the way our coach chose first string was, we wore only our shin guards. pitchers were told to throw only fastballs. first one to miss a pitch was second string. sometimes, i still duck my head, trying to avoid the pitch.
i am a high school varsity catcher and im sorry but this video sucks horribly.. he turns his glove to catch..stands up.. has no form when hes throwin..
Nothing about blocking balls in the dirt? One of the most important skills a catcher needs to learn. Guess I need to type in 'how to block balls in the dirt when playing catcher'. LOL.
At 1:45, he stands up to catch a low pitch. I teach my catchers to never stand up unless necessary, since it blocks the ump's view. The guy swung, so it didn't matter, but still a terrible habit.
Most catchers, including myself, do it out of habit. Make sure the cup is protecting what it should be protecting. Or if there's a runner on a second and there's a sequence of signs, a tap on the cup means, for me, "screw everything I just gave you, and bring the fastball."
why would you make this video it is literally just the bare essentials of catching which an even decent catcher should already grasp and be able to do in their sleep
i've been a varsity catcher since my freshman year. This video is shit.
