Great vid. My sons a catcher and this is what no one ever talks about.......the tools of catching. My son's Grandfather bought him the Stars and Stripes All-Star gear and a few parents would get upset when we told them no one else could use his equipment. I may even bring this type of lesson up to some of the coaches that hold clinics. Again great job.
NUKE BASEBALL how can I send you a couple off videos of my son catching so I can get your opinion on his form? He is a 16 year old catcher from Puerto Rico
How would anyone feel about borrowing someone else's jock and cup or mouthguard? Same thing. Catcher's gear is more than just a baseball glove or a bat. Its an individual's personal protection equipment.
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
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.
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.
So I have been a catcher for 2 yrs now and my coach whenever I tell him that no one can use my gear he gets really mad what should I do in your opinion great vid by the way
That means the catcher gear is too long. He must get the catcher's gear to match the Torso correctly just like fitting on a new suit. Make sure you try it on and get it those positions before you buy. Or find out the size ahead of time through a dealership in the area
Most likely the chest protector is to big for your body. I had the same problem mine wasn’t tight enough I went into big 5 tried on about 4-5 and I realized mine was to big . You probably need a smaller one Lowkey
@@el_robbie401 i'm gonna do private lessons and try out for spring of this school year i acc got a catchers set bc it's needed for lessons but my friend knows how to pitch so i usually watch these videos and practice with a t ball with him
@@el_robbie401 also i don't have have experience in a team but i know how the game works and also have been throwing and toss since 2018 it is big change up bc i'm a musician i play drums and bass
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....
I totally agree. Im a 16u catcher and my backup catcher got a new glove and couldn't stick a single pitch in our game. Gave him my glove and he improved 100%. Sometimes you really gotta suck up and help somone out.
Most towns have league-bought equipment they give to the team in order for players to learn how to catch. But its not reasonable for a catcher who's parents invested in their kids gear to be expected to share with someone else. Its their personal gear... its more than just a baseball glove or a bat. Its personal protection equipment sized to their body.

New_England_Times thanks for the positive words. We're trying to spread a message what most people don't talk about. You know the elephant in the room

This video just auto played, but it’s pretty darn informative. The Catchers coach explains the maintenance and wear of the equipment very well.
Amen. Kids won't understand this until it's too late. Spread the word
I will give you a Hallelujah with that amen
Adding more from this years camp with Sergio to Nuke Baseball. Same guy with baseball houston (linskey) different channel.
NUKE BASEBALL any of your camps in SoCal?
Richard Lee Cabrera Jr. Not yet. I'm with Sportsforce Recruiting in SoCal. If i come out to visit, not a bad idea

I never thought of the pocket getting slick I’ll start doing that
As a catcher I know quite a few people that need to watch this and stop asking to use my gear
Your lack of humility is showing.....
This comment may be a little late but can you oil the straps and hooks on the shin gaurds if theyre old?
My coach calls me Iron Man when I put the gear on
Ayyy shout out to all of the people from texassss
Thx helped me so much
Anyone who was that scared of loosing his job as a catcher probably didn’t deserve it in the first place
thanks this video helped me a loy
Ryker Gillespie me to
Teddy Wang too*
“Come on up because you have the best example”…also kid is missing his belt.
