This comment may be a little late but can you oil the straps and hooks on the shin gaurds if theyre old?

Unfortunately this considered too old school now , now that catchers are taught to be lazy , when they have a knee down and can’t block a ball or track a pitch in to get a called strike, the pitcher is blamed for missing his spots. Somehow it’s perfectly acceptable for a catcher to put his knee down and allow pass balls even with runners on 3rd

“Come on up because you have the best example”…also kid is missing his belt.

Not to be mean I’m nine and I throw 64

My coach calls me Iron Man when I put the gear on

I love D-Back

does anyone have any tips for me to tighten my chest protector without using tape i tightened it as far is it would go and it’s still loose

When I was 9 I threw high 60’s now I’m 10 and I throw mid 70’s

9 year olds range 37 to 50. He went from slow to average. Good job. Now the goal is to get to fast, and that will come through more strength, speed and athleticism.

i want to be a catcher i'm 16 rn

so me and my friend catch and i let him use my glove beacuse he has one but its very very bad

I get what your saying. But I would never tell a kid who wants to play and has nothing NO. You need to upen your humility game, and have a pause on sports before you just become a shit person... good tips but terrible attitude.....sad sports should never come before a child....

This video just auto played, but it’s pretty darn informative. The Catchers coach explains the maintenance and wear of the equipment very well.

Are you still teaching this? Would love to talk catching setup and new age movement with you

Slow

Slow

When will u come back

As a catcher I know quite a few people that need to watch this and stop asking to use my gear

I have the same glove as the instructor. It’s a DPCM 33”

who is that guy

I play softball

I agree with the glove part because I was catcher for 2 games strait then I was out an inning and I let another kid use the glove and I couldn’t catch crap

offended about the softball line.

I just put my catchers gear in a duffle bag and I taped my chin guard with tape together now that I realize that my catchers gear is crap

What kind of catcher gear does the instructor have

👍

Tú lo que eres es un egoísta

One kit pls

By adding more power in the stride reduces the athlete from overcompensating with the upper body

My son does this as well.. Can't get him to stop it yet.

Good advice! It's tough for young kids (8-11) starting out catching to understand the importance of their gear fitting. The parents also need to take note of the importance too. How many times have you seen the little kid trot out behind the plate with the chest protector hanging down like an ill fitted suit jacket. Or the leg guards flopping around. I don't see this on the travel level, but at the rec level it's ridiculous. I get that they may have only one set for the team, but c'mon coaches, you have to get two sets for your kid's varying sizes. You can buy a used set on Craiglist for $50.00. I try to remind my son to keep the pocket of his glove from getting too dusty. Dry hot days tend to accelerate the layer of dust that can lead to the ball slipping, or squeezing out on tough catches. I'll usually put a little conditioner in the pocket before a game, and then he keeps a small towel in his bag to wipe the dust off between innings to maintain a slight tackiness.

500 th sub

I used to go to the zone

im a catchers to

Jh

Anyone who was that scared of loosing his job as a catcher probably didn’t deserve it in the first place

Gravity lol no such thing

I can hit the ball but usually I stand in the back of the box even though I can get my hands through on a inside pitch is that bad

Ayyy shout out to all of the people from texassss

HUMBLE

Where in Houston are you located?

4:50 thanks. I hate letting on that we should fear every hitter and try to avoid the bat. The scenario being answered is obviously early in the game otherwise you would have seen in this batter by now. You have nothing to go on and he's sitting up right in the middle. Throwing your best pitch and getting a strike is the correct answer. Once he actually swings, now we might know something but before that, we don't know what he can or cannot do. Get a strike. And trust your defense.

Great videos ! Keep them coming ! One question . Does the king of the hill help the kids to generate more power ?

I hear you thinking out of the box...

I have the hockey mask too

Would you be able to give feedback if I send you a video of my son in his gear? His chest protector fits but as soon as he squats into the catchers squat the chest protector jumps up to his face rather than staying in place.

PICK UP HIS PAYCHECK LOL

The pitcher knows even less.

Like all catchers and managers this guy thinks he knows how to pitch better than do pitchers. All granite and no brain.

Amen. Kids won't understand this until it's too late. Spread the word
