  • You remind me of my softball coach ! Lol

  • I am a 6th grade catcher and this woman really helped me. I hope I can do better. ^__^

  • This was a terrible video to watch and really not helpful

  • un organized

    

  • @Mara03851 Yes, or else the bat or ball can hit your hand, and you can get called for interference.

  • No, no, no. The catcher's hand should stay behind her back until the ball is in her glove.

  • does anyone know how i can get in contact with this lady??

  • Cool vid.

  • she forgot to tell that as a catcher that you CAN catch foul balls for the out! Even If the batter tips the ball with his or her bat, the catcher can catch that for the out. Catcher can catch any nearby foul balls for the out. That's why the catcher has more opportunities to make outs than right field.

  • @85collinwoods no U want to catch with ur glove but u can put ur hand around ur glove as you would if u were catching a flyball but no dont catch with ur bare hand
