    The game calling is even better but not as exciting to watch. Also impossible to see are the 550+ fewer steals attempted against the Cardinals than any other team since Yadi came to the league. I've seen a runner get 12 steps in before the ball reached the plate and Yadi still threw them out at 2nd. Incredible stuff.

They have been in the top 3 of least steal attempts against EVERY YEAR but one since 2007. And that one year was the one year he missed a huge chunk of the year for injury. No other team is even close. Wow

      My son played catcher and, yes, getting a quick release and being able to get the ball on the first base side of the bag are the essential skills. Other small points are which middle infielder is covering the bag, does the center fielder move in to back up the throw, and the pitcher knowing to duck. For throws to third (to catch a runner leading off too much, the catcher will aim for the standing runner’s head, since he will try to dive back to the bag, and the ball will end up in the perfect place.

    • @60ft6inProductions
      @60ft6inProductions  2 роки тому

      Two aspects that catchers can always work on are their transfer and footwork. For the transfer, after the ball is caught, work on bringing the glove to the right ear to transfer. It's quicker to use the momentum of the pitch to move the glove back than it is to take the throwing arm to the glove in front of the body. For the footwork, work on "frog-jumping" up in place while turning the body so the front shoulder is inline with 2B. The back foot should touch down before the front as to help transfer the weight forward on the throw. Be sure that the front foot doesn't step on home plate though. That's a quick and easy way to slip up / lose balance and make a bad throw.

    • @nargly8208

    Yadier Molina should teach his skills to young catchers on how to do what he does behind the plate. He got such a quick release, why does anyone wants to steal? Also, I see the pitchers help by throwing pitches so he can throw and either ducking or heading towards first base to get out of his way and the second baseman or shortstop gives him a target to throw to. That's teamwork.

      @@kevindick1110 if Roy Campanella wasn't barred from playing during some of the prime years of his career due to the color barrier, no one would be talking about any other catcher as the GOAT. He was almost 30 when he broke in with the Dodgers and had whatever was left of his career cut short by a car accident which left him paralyzed, after only a 10 year MLB career. He still managed to hit 259 career HR and had a lifetime BA of .283. And threw out 57% of the runners trying to steal on him.

      You are comparing 2 very different era's. Campanella was in the league at time when players still needed winter jobs to make ends meet. The skill level was far lower then it is today. 40% isn't that bad, when you live in an era where you have players who specialize in stealing bases.

      @@Kastrius Campanella was to catchers what LT was to linebackers, a player who revolutionized the position. He was athletic and a great fielder in addition to having a cannon of an arm. He hit for both power and average, and his 41 HR in 1953 set a record for HRs by a catcher that lasted almost 40 years. He also wasted much of his prime playing years in the Negro Leagues because of the color barrier in MLB.

Molina is widely regarded as the best defensive catcher and has one of the greatest baseball IQ's ever and his offensive numbers are not great, but they are not horrible either (career .278 hitter in 19 seasons).
