RKD with runner on base setup move to get in throwing position notice the quick exchange eyes need to be constantly moving between pitcher and runner on first don't rely on the " Runner " call

The Nationals face the Marlins in Jupiter today, which means they get their first chance to try out the ABS challenge system. Drew Millas, who had plenty of experience with it at AAA, thinks it actually makes catchers more important than before. masnsports.com/blog/first-ga…
High School class working the the "exchange" moving quickly through the ball making all one fluid motion
Excellent example of pre move all one motion every movement in sync no hesitation quick exchange staying low gaining grown towards target quickly
Working pre move turn starts when the runner starts steal left knee & shoulders start turn receive the ball in the zone stay low don't stand too soon keeping sight line for ump right foot down quick giving ground towards second base can you do this all in sink ? No hesitation
Catcher working on pitch high in zone the key is to stay above the ball and work down to the zone not catch and drag all one continuous motion meet the ball don't beat the ball to the spot show clove parallel to the ground

In this Morning's briefing, we discuss the possibility of an open competition for the starting catcher position.
Happy early Thanksgiving! 🦃

The glove is not flat to the ground at the bottom of his set up the pocket is visible with the thumb and top of the webbing dragging across the ground to the catch see to many young catchers with the glove flat to the ground
Two perfectly executed receptions by Mariners farmhand Josh Caron.
Two things to notice - # 1, on the first catch, the horizontal move. The FIRST MOVE is directly RIGHT before ascending to the ball.
“Catch the ball side of the ball.”
For the other catch, it is the PATIENCE. See how long he WAITS before the surge through catch. The thumb drags and stays connected to the ground.
This is why we teach our catchers to make a fist around thumb and place hand in the crevice between the thigh and hip
