Do you have a video on lefty throwing to 3rd drill? You have great advice for leftys. So thank you.

I have a question. Can you do a video on over coming the left handed catcher stigma? My daughter is 9 and is going through a really hard time finding a team because all the coaches are telling her a lefty can’t be a catcher.

I have a small 11 year old starting 12U fastpitch. Are there differences in softball catchers gear, or is baseball gear acceptable? Sorry if that's a dumb question

20 years coaching baseball. I have 2 girls though. 1 year coaching fastpitch.... thank you for this video.

ua-cam.com/users/shortsbO9zY40KmiA?feature=share. Check this video out. I think it would help get into better position. I hope this helps. Keep up the hard work!

This, to me, seems like an inaccurate representation of baseball versus softball throws to second. The reason being, the softball example did not receive a pitch (she already had a ball in her mitt) and was in a controlled training facility. The baseball example was not in a similarly controlled environment and was receiving a pitch. I believe this is just simply not an accurate comparison of baseball and softball catchers throwing to second. The softball player would obviously look more comfortable as she already had a ball in her mitt and was in the cages. If you’d like to show an accurate comparison then you would give a softball and baseball player equal atmospheres to perform in.

There is not enough of this content available! Thank you.

My daughter plays nationally as a left handed catcher in 16u. Anything you can provide helps. She has a rocket arm and is always discriminated against by recruiters because she’s left handed. We’ve been told she has the skills of a Power 5. We just need help getting and advantage she can get

I’d think that would be a fine line between obstructing the plate. At least in LL it would be.

Thank you for this! It's the best explanation I've seen on HOW to make sure the gear the kids are wearing fits them appropriately! I'll be looking through the rest of your videos. I appreciate you taking the time to make this so we can teach the next generation of athletes.

Hi, I'm a left handed catcher and was wondering about the squatting position I should be in behind the plate, I'm not that confident always thinking I'm doing it wrong. Same with the pop up for a throw down to second. Could you make a video explaining what to do please, thank you.

Thank you! Lessons learned.

Left handed catcher. Thats your frist problem you need to fix. Oh yeah its softball not baseball.

Hey so on the chest protector from my base neck to bellybutton is 13.5 but I’ve heard to do it from base neck to waist is 14.5 should I go 13.5 or 14.5 inch chest protector

i caught D1 and my “squats” didn’t look like either of those.

Just wanted to Thank you.

Easton

Thank you!

Do you think that you may start making more videos again?

I would not use the 0ower squat I would use a REGUALAR squat

I loved this. This really hit home for me with my daughter. Thank you. Keep Preaching! I love it. I learned a lot!

Thanks a lot for your expertise!

I use a middle squat but for throwing a runner out I use a side square

Great tip

What if the runner slides into your leg while sliding?

Thanks so much! This was helpful for me and my 10 yr old boy as well. I love coach's who go over and beyond for our kids, but you are going the extra mile for even more kids. I want you to feel the appreciation. Your kids are blessed🥰

GREAT VIDEO NEED MORE LEFT HANDED CATCHER..

I use power squat when runners on

thankyou for posting this i have always wondered what I was supposed to do because whenever our coach would show us how to tag a runner out they would teach us as being a righty cause most catchers arent lefty it also helps to know that there are lefty catchers that have made it far into the game because there are alot of people who say i cant be a catcher because im small and left handed im 13 turning 14 and im hoping to see if you have any tips that could help me become a better catcher thankyou

I teach my catchers to use a full squat if no runners on. Power squat if runners on

I would use the power squat because it allows you to have more power

I would use the power squat

Thank you for posting these videos. My daughter is left handed and there is almost nothing out there to show her how to catch as a Lefty.

Jenny, Thanks for posting. I have a twelve year old daughter, that LOVES catching. I honestly tried to talk her out of it and get her to play third because she's got a cannon for an arm, but she insisted. She's tough as nails, and completely fearless behind the plate. When she started catching she was terrible but she's worked her tail off to be pretty good and I want to buy her her own gear. We happen to have 5 kids, all adopted, so there's not a ton of extra money, but since she's worked so hard at being a better catcher I'm willing to try to get her good stuff that fits so she can quit using the city league stuff. I just don't want to have to buy a new stuff every year so is it better to piece stuff together and when she outgrows one portion of the gear just to add new shin guards or a new chest protector etc or is buying a set better? And what are your opinions on used gear? This has turned into more of an email but I appreciate your response it's hard to ask people when you don't know stuff, but a little easier to do it online.

Haha how coincidental looking for some softball videos and found my cousin 😂😂 great video

And I’m a catcher

I’m ten it doesn’t heart

All good points. #4 is my pet peeve for sure. It sets off the coaches and the crowd especially when the pitch isn't that close.

Great video!

I like Easton Gear but I’m trying Rawlings gear this coming season

Great video. Do you happen to have a model # on the Schutt facemask?

Awesome video... It is so helpful 👍

Don’t attack the umpire. I’ve had quite a few times recently where it’s been a close play, and I’ve had players literally jump on me and their team mates have had to drag them off.

If the umpire gets hit by a pitch in the dirt or a foul ball then the catcher should go talk to the pitcher to give the blue time to recuperate. That helps in building a good relationship.

Can you think of one or 2 things I missed that are important with umpires?

Great question. If you are a consistent blocker I would suggest not blocking with no runners on. This does a few things, this prevents us from turning our glove over on a pillow pitch that we could possibly frame, and it also saves energy. If the ball gets past you with no runners on then we need to hustle to get it but there is no harm down because there is no runner on base to advance. Great question!

Hi, I have a question. What should I do when there is nobody on base and my pitcher throws a fastball in the dirt. I'm in my primairy stance. Should I try to block them or put my glove on the ground, both risking a passed ball?

Hi, I know you did a video on blocking already but I was wondering if you could do a video on how players could be confident with blocking and how to loose the fear also some things you would advise to someone who is struggling with blocking

👍👍

Good stuff!
