As a former New Yorker, this day will always be remembered. Now as a fire fighter, I have so much more respect for those first responders and what they went through. Physically, mentally and emotionally.

First responders to this day are still battling cancers from this day.
Lets not forget those who gave up everything to serve everyone who needed it that day.

These 3 flaws are some of the most common mistake I've seen with catchers.
1) Glove late getting to ground
2) Knees cave in during stance
3) Glove pushes out in front on knees during block

⚾️🥎 Building proper muscle memory is the beginning of learning how to block properly. If we can't get to the proper positions, it doesn't matter how well we can read it out of the hand.
Keys: 👀
A) Get glove down first
B) Get it deep
C) Chin down & use your shoulders

🧤 LOW PITCHES ARE WON WITH ANGLES — NOT JUST SOFT HANDS.

When receiving pitches at the bottom of the zone, the angle of the glove matters.

⚾ Get underneath the baseball with your pocket.
⚾ Work up through the pitch — not down to it.
⚾ Receive it with control.

One of the biggest mistakes young catchers make is reaching down at low pitches. Once the glove gets on top of the baseball, it becomes much harder to present the pitch back into the zone.

👉 Start low. Stay underneath it. Work back toward the strike zone.

Small adjustments in glove angle can make a BIG difference in how a pitch is received and presented.

Train the details. Build better catchers. 🧤⚾
