Catching to the casual baseball fan is such an underrated job. These guys do so much more than just catch a pitch and throw batters out. The play and feel these guys have and the in-depth thought they put into the game while calling and catching 90mph+ fast balls or wicked breaking balls. It is no wonder a lot of catchers go on to be managers. Good video, although it would have been good to see the camera positioned elsewhere on the body, say helmet etc. But as they talk about, this could create a "target" or put-off pitchers. I liked the mini-docu type look into the catchers warm-up though.
You really can’t see anything at all in most parts. By the way I get why not seeing the ball is the point, however you can’t catch a baseball when you can’t see the ball. Baseball players out there know this. They should have mounted it way better put it is still a interesting video.
I too was a catcher in high school. The mound is 60 feet away. This camera makes it look like 200 and you can't even see the ball. It's not nearly so difficult as this video suggests.
Y'all are me favorite team I got so luck today my favorite position is catcher I have played for 5 years now and 1 year all stars this is my lucky day thank y'all
Nice to see how its done in the majors. You don't see much unfortunately with the camera and it makes the mound look a mile away but it does at least show the sort of training you go through. One observation is that its more than a professional environment its like a corporate discipline in that the personalities seem less teammate orientated and more focused on impressing and gaining advantage - just my observation though.
What brilliant individual mounted this camera on his chest protector blocking all views of what is happing during the catch. What a complete waste of bandwidth.
All you see is the glove. Nothing else. But nice reaction time. Isn’t that hard to keep. Up with. If I were in the majors I wouldn’t want to be a catcher because it would make your hand hurt a lot.
So basically 5:30 of stupid talking and then like 3 pitches which can't even be seen until after they reach the glove because it's out if frame. Good job
"Let's put this camera right behind the glove so you can't see shit." Sounds good! Thanks, guys.
Cody S. That’s what I was thinking right at the start wtf
That’s what the catcher sees as well
@@jeanblack3070 - Hardly
Should be on the helmet or face mask
The video should be renamed as follows: What a major league catcher would see if his eyes were in his fucking chest.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yup. Watching a baseball come at someone from a major league pitcher is great... as long as I can see the ball.
Omfl lmfao lol
HeavyProfessor ys
LOL omg i laughed my heart out
This catcher is now a coach for the Dodgers. Good hire for them. Definitely seems likes a good coach
Go Dodgers
camera needs to be mounted on top of the face mask or something.
jeffery griffis on top of the mask is worse than on the chest
The whole point is because they can’t see anything
jeffery griffis yea u can’t even see the ball
Exactly
To mount on the helmet they would need to get a custom GoPro mount and it would violate the terms of the MLB for helmet regulations
The back of a glove is what the catcher sees apparently.
I catch. Back of the glove
+Elan Romero why is your glove in your face?
+Casual Cat 22 It's a chest mount
+Elan Romero I catch too, and I see the same. I try to put the top of the glove with the bar right below my eye most of the time.
+Jarwes1414 exactly what I do
When I lived in AZ, this was one of my fields I played on. This brings back memories. :)
Pretty much useless vid. Catcher has a nice mit, though.
It’s a training mit. The Texas Catchers use a smaller mit in a drill at Spring Training.
Guys this isn't a useless video. We got to see the chillness of an mlb pitcher/catcher practice in real life.
Its pretty cool! Haven't been in a catchers position in years! Feels nice just watching this video.
I played catcher. God I loved it. God I love baseball.

2:14 Turned ooOOOOFFF
Awesome video! Really puts you in perspective of a MLB Catcher when a pitcher throws at him!
2:13 voice crack 😂
EVERY MLB TEAMS NEED CATCHER CAMERA

I love his glove
You guys practicing bat flipping this year?
You guys practicing boxing at all?
Guys quit saying this vid is crap because it's not you can see the pitch just fine and if you can't your blind
Let's go cardinals
That's a really interesting mitt you got there
Sickkkk glove dude love that that’s the whole vid😂😂

Video should be called 'see what a major league catchers glove looks like'
The thumbnail looks like Ty from Dude Perfect
Kinda
What is a thumbnail
+Kailub Parra picture you see b4 clicking video
Fuk you
No way wtf
“Take two. Now we will mount the Go Pro on the ump.”
I need more of these
Texas rangers for life
for some reason i love the sound of the ball getting caught by a catchers mitt.
It’s normal
Time title should be what a pitch sounds like hitting a mit.
I love baseball and this was cool to watch
Genius idea!
All them catchers which one start
How did this video end? I got distracted watching the paint dry on my wall
What exactly do I see?
Nothing but a 90+ MPH fast ball
ALG32705 it's realistic most catchers put the glove in front of their eyes
@@haydengodek2134 wrong
How about trying FOV to the actual head itself? The only thing we're seeing is the back of the mitt!
Cool video!
Y'all are me favorite team I got so luck today my favorite position is catcher I have played for 5 years now and 1 year all stars this is my lucky day thank y'all
Cool
forget to switch accounts?
@@evilv2109 no

@@skimmilk6918 what
I like that all star gear I’m a catcher for middle school
I love it 😍
What's the song around 40 seconds?

That's crazy!!! They only see the glove?
im a catcher in middle school and i thought 80mph fast balls where hard
What team is this in my little lueage team we got second in champion cheap
BS you
Should have watched the video after a few. Then adjusted video so we could see the pitchers movement. To see what the batter sees.
Wow being a catcher is harder than I thought after watching this video because I didnt know you had to look halfway to the ground while catching
What brilliant individual mounted this camera on his chest protector blocking all views of what is happing during the catch. What a complete waste of bandwidth.
Chest cam?
MLB should have this for games like built in to the mask or equipment
Id have plate umps wear it
All you see is the glove. Nothing else. But nice reaction time. Isn’t that hard to keep. Up with. If I were in the majors I wouldn’t want to be a catcher because it would make your hand hurt a lot.
Color me shocked, but for the longest time I though catchers saw 90 mph pitches, but it’s just the back of a glove?! Wow great content.
I💖Texas Rangers
Should've just put the go pro on top of the helmet instead of on like your chest. You can't see anything
Texas Rangers is my favorite baseball team
who is your favorite baseball team?
This is what it looks like in a dream
So basically 5:30 of stupid talking and then like 3 pitches which can't even be seen until after they reach the glove because it's out if frame. Good job
the pitch sounds like a gun shot a sniper shot
yes
Someone get a contract for this glove 😂😂
Stop complaining about the view this what I see and I'm behind the plate constantly
At 0:35 Is that Brett Nicholas
Pretty good
this guy seems pretty legit, catching made to look easy lol, nice guy too it seems
I'm a catcher at my middle school and I though our pitcher throw fast witch is 60 to 65 and looking at this I'm like never mind
Catchers have the ability to look past a object and catch +90 mph fastballs? Amazing!
it was on his chest he looks above it to see the ball
2:13 that voice crack tho
I'm a catcher can u give the so cal halos a shout out to the team
I’m a freshman this year and I thought throwing 80 was hard looking at the guy on the right looks like he’s throwing 120 compared to me
I love catcher I play it
im a catcher and i dont see only my arm when i catch but hey maybe im doing something wrong
its mounted on his chest, so its basically what your chest sees
+Ricardo Casillas yep lol
I catch and my vision is a small rectangle
We can’t even see the ball how fast it’s coming bc of his glove
The glove covers the cam half the time
I have toms autograph when he played for Seattle
did anyone else here that voice crack 2:12-2:13
Mystic_Spirit “Turned off”? More like turned on.
the glove was in the way so you can not see it ball coming
I see it all the time because am a cacher
I can't see shit other than his arm and his hand
I miss tom on the m's😭 I got his signature and met him
Is this the Rangers
yeah
Are you stupid
I didn’t know catchers looked directly at the dirt when they caught
You can only see the glove
Head mount use
I am a catcher and once the ball passes the halfway point there is nothing more to see. Your body takes over and moves easily to the ball
PROBABLY SHOULD'VE CHECKED THE CAMERA ANGLE
i can't see the ball or the pitcher
Do nex on wilson contreras
I was a catcher too
Me to
Oh for mlb😴😝😂 nope
Jerold I was for a little bit but I stopped playing
Same
Are you a filipino Jerold?
what the back of a catchers mitt looks like
Dats amazing
I'm a major league shortstop they work their asses off just like everyone else give him a fucking break
that's cool
I only see the mitt....hahahaha
The thumbnail looks like Ian from smosh
3:32. Tommy Hanson RIP
the camera angle made this really difficult to watch
0:00 youtuber apology vids starting like
That pitcher was cut 3 days ago from the Diamondbacks, poor dude.
I am going play catcher like Jay costume
