Yo! Thanks for checking out Catching Made Simple 🙂
If you don’t know who I am, my name is Anj Bourgeois and I’m the founder of Catching Made Simple.
I transitioned from infield to catcher my Junior year of college having never caught before (yes, you read that right! It was a very late transition!)
Through the struggles I learned, I now have a passion for teaching other catchers the fundamentals of the game and more importantly, the fundamentals of life.
I’ve helped hundreds of catchers get into a better stance, learn the fundamentals of the game, and get their mindset right.
And I’d love to help you in your catching journey!

These vids have really been helping me, I'm a new catcher, played third base all my life. Junior in HS now. My team is really small and kinda terrible, so my senior year I am basically the only catcher we have that can play in games. These videos are really helping me get there physically and mentally so I won't be (too much) of a liability next year

Thanks for a quick and to the point set of catching drills!

A drill I came up with in the mid 90’s was a no mitt drill. Put your hands behind your back and it makes you get your chest over the ball so it stays close. Still catching to this day into my 40’s.
