How To Receive And Frame Pitches

Former Southern Conference all conference catcher from Appalachian State, Michelle Lighton, breaks down how to receive and frame pitches. In the end of the video, she shows a drill you can do to work on both aspects of catching.

Thank you, keep trying to explain this to my daughter. She does good at dragging her glove over but she’s not getting the turning the glove as you catch it. Hopefully this video will help her see better as I don’t think I’m explaining it properly.

Do you recommend groin protection?

[@qiebi2567]

if you catch it, no.

hard to hear

This is funny.

The "chicken wing" that you say the umpire will see and call a ball is totally false. You are much stronger and able to control your glove more with your elbow out. Keeping your elbow in will cause you to just take any borderline pitch away from the strike zone.

Framing a pitch is BS...any umpire that reacts to that should never be an umpire .....DFIP
