Slo-Mo of Crouch to Launch-Baseball

This Drill is designed to help catchers get into the proper position prior to the throw. The goal is to insure that the front side is closed prior to throwing which will help get the hips and legs in the throw, not just the throwing arm.

Note the first thing that moves is the glove turns, and the ball is lifted out, not pulled out. Also observe that the right foot comes straight across towards the left foot but stops at the mid-line with the instep pointing at the target base. The left foot them lands directly in front causing the front side to be closed prior to the throw.
