The video should be renamed as follows: What a major league catcher would see if his eyes were in his fucking chest.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yup. Watching a baseball come at someone from a major league pitcher is great... as long as I can see the ball.
Omfl lmfao lol
HeavyProfessor ys
HeavyProfessor she also has metal bars in front of his face
"Let's put this camera right behind the glove so you can't see shit." Sounds good! Thanks, guys.
Cody S. That’s what I was thinking right at the start wtf
That’s what the catcher sees as well
@@jeanblack3070 - Hardly
Should be on the helmet or face mask
This catcher is now a coach for the Dodgers. Good hire for them. Definitely seems likes a good coach
Go Dodgers
The back of a glove is what the catcher sees apparently.
I catch. Back of the glove
+Elan Romero why is your glove in your face?
+Casual Cat 22 It's a chest mount
+Elan Romero I catch too, and I see the same. I try to put the top of the glove with the bar right below my eye most of the time.
+Jarwes1414 exactly what I do
camera needs to be mounted on top of the face mask or something.
jeffery griffis on top of the mask is worse than on the chest
The whole point is because they can’t see anything
jeffery griffis yea u can’t even see the ball
Exactly
To mount on the helmet they would need to get a custom GoPro mount and it would violate the terms of the MLB for helmet regulations
When I lived in AZ, this was one of my fields I played on. This brings back memories. :)
2:14 Turned ooOOOOFFF
Guys this isn't a useless video. We got to see the chillness of an mlb pitcher/catcher practice in real life.
1:18 that’s what she said
I played catcher. God I loved it. God I love baseball.
2:13 voice crack 😂
Catching to the casual baseball fan is such an underrated job. These guys do so much more than just catch a pitch and throw batters out. The play and feel these guys have and the in-depth thought they put into the game while calling and catching 90mph+ fast balls or wicked breaking balls. It is no wonder a lot of catchers go on to be managers. Good video, although it would have been good to see the camera positioned elsewhere on the body, say helmet etc. But as they talk about, this could create a "target" or put-off pitchers. I liked the mini-docu type look into the catchers warm-up though.
Pretty much useless vid. Catcher has a nice mit, though.
It’s a training mit. The Texas Catchers use a smaller mit in a drill at Spring Training.
Its pretty cool! Haven't been in a catchers position in years! Feels nice just watching this video.
I love his glove
Awesome video! Really puts you in perspective of a MLB Catcher when a pitcher throws at him!
Guys quit saying this vid is crap because it's not you can see the pitch just fine and if you can't your blind
Let's go cardinals
Sickkkk glove dude love that that’s the whole vid😂😂
That's a really interesting mitt you got there
“Take two. Now we will mount the Go Pro on the ump.”
I need more of these
EVERY MLB TEAMS NEED CATCHER CAMERA
Genius idea!
Texas rangers for life
Video should be called 'see what a major league catchers glove looks like'
I love baseball and this was cool to watch
for some reason i love the sound of the ball getting caught by a catchers mitt.
It’s normal
The thumbnail looks like Ty from Dude Perfect
Kinda
What is a thumbnail
+Kailub Parra picture you see b4 clicking video
Fuk you
No way wtf
I too was a catcher in high school. The mound is 60 feet away. This camera makes it look like 200 and you can't even see the ball. It's not nearly so difficult as this video suggests.
I love it 😍
Color me shocked, but for the longest time I though catchers saw 90 mph pitches, but it’s just the back of a glove?! Wow great content.
Cool video!
Dats amazing
Someone get a contract for this glove 😂😂
You guys practicing bat flipping this year?
You guys practicing boxing at all?
Pretty good
This is what it looks like in a dream
that's cool
Wow being a catcher is harder than I thought after watching this video because I didnt know you had to look halfway to the ground while catching
this guy seems pretty legit, catching made to look easy lol, nice guy too it seems
I like that all star gear I’m a catcher for middle school
I💖Texas Rangers
Time title should be what a pitch sounds like hitting a mit.
Texas Rangers is my favorite baseball team
damn gimenez wasn't there much longer after this video haha go rangers
I love catcher I play it
yes
Nice to see how its done in the majors. You don't see much unfortunately with the camera and it makes the mound look a mile away but it does at least show the sort of training you go through. One observation is that its more than a professional environment its like a corporate discipline in that the personalities seem less teammate orientated and more focused on impressing and gaining advantage - just my observation though.
Catchers have the ability to look past a object and catch +90 mph fastballs? Amazing!
Y'all are me favorite team I got so luck today my favorite position is catcher I have played for 5 years now and 1 year all stars this is my lucky day thank y'all
Cool
forget to switch accounts?
@@evilv2109 no
I am from texas
@@skimmilk6918 what
2:13 that voice crack tho
Nice mitt bro xD
I have toms autograph when he played for Seattle
HEAT
I only see the mitt....hahahaha
im a catcher in middle school and i thought 80mph fast balls where hard
That's crazy!!! They only see the glove?
What brilliant individual mounted this camera on his chest protector blocking all views of what is happing during the catch. What a complete waste of bandwidth.
CHRIS OMG SUP ITS ME SAM FROM SCORPIONS! :D IM TED'S SON!
Chest cam?
MLB should have this for games like built in to the mask or equipment
Id have plate umps wear it
How did this video end? I got distracted watching the paint dry on my wall
0:00 youtuber apology vids starting like
Stop complaining about the view this what I see and I'm behind the plate constantly
who is your favorite baseball team?
What's the song around 40 seconds?

I miss tom on the m's😭 I got his signature and met him
You really can’t see anything at all in most parts. By the way I get why not seeing the ball is the point, however you can’t catch a baseball when you can’t see the ball. Baseball players out there know this. They should have mounted it way better put it is still a interesting video.
All you see is the glove. Nothing else. But nice reaction time. Isn’t that hard to keep. Up with. If I were in the majors I wouldn’t want to be a catcher because it would make your hand hurt a lot.
O I thought a catcher would see different but nope he still sees the world
What team is this in my little lueage team we got second in champion cheap
BS you
I didn’t know catchers looked directly at the dirt when they caught
I can't see shit other than his arm and his hand
How about trying FOV to the actual head itself? The only thing we're seeing is the back of the mitt!
What exactly do I see?
Nothing but a 90+ MPH fast ball
ALG32705 it's realistic most catchers put the glove in front of their eyes
@@haydengodek2134 wrong
All them catchers which one start
put the camera behind the glove and look into the sun. hey, great job.
I'm a catcher at my middle school and I though our pitcher throw fast witch is 60 to 65 and looking at this I'm like never mind
Spring training Texas rangers suprise Arizona. I’ve gone
what the back of a catchers mitt looks like
The thumbnail looks like Ian from smosh
I’m a freshman this year and I thought throwing 80 was hard looking at the guy on the right looks like he’s throwing 120 compared to me
I was a catcher too
I’m a catcher right now I’m in a book for best players in America
I am a catcher and once the ball passes the halfway point there is nothing more to see. Your body takes over and moves easily to the ball
Do nex on wilson contreras
Head mount use
That pitcher was cut 3 days ago from the Diamondbacks, poor dude.
Should have watched the video after a few. Then adjusted video so we could see the pitchers movement. To see what the batter sees.
I am in the raingers
He looks like Ian from smosh on the thumbnail
Should've just put the go pro on top of the helmet instead of on like your chest. You can't see anything
whats tht title of the latin song
I'm a major league shortstop they work their asses off just like everyone else give him a fucking break
We can’t even see the ball how fast it’s coming bc of his glove
2:12 rob gronkowski? 😂😂
I'm a catcher can u give the so cal halos a shout out to the team
the pitch sounds like a gun shot a sniper shot
PROBABLY SHOULD'VE CHECKED THE CAMERA ANGLE
thats scary
