ive had a lot of coaches tell me to block the ball, ive had 2 coaches ask me if i even know how to block a ball, and i have only had 1 coach actually do drills with me on blocking. videos like this have made more of an impact on my blocking than any other source, although im still not comfortable blocking in game for our fast guys
Got asked to help coach my son's little league team 12 to 14 yr olds, I'm so glad I found all the videos, the explanation and details are perfect thank you
@@kruminio902 I think the key is to have your leg out farther, plant your toe spike onto the ground so you can push and pull yourself off that leg. Idk though, personally I only do it will no runners on base.
Great great content! I've played up through minor leagues and the one kneed down was seen as "lazy" but with the evolution of receiving and just the skills of pitchers, it makes so much sense. The blocking techniques are fantastic and easy for most to just pick up and really improve their blocking skills. Now that I coach, I will absolutely use the drills you mentioned!
Where should you position your right hand when you are catching bc I have heard behind the ankle or under your torso but I feel like the ankle one will be to slow to get my hand under my glove on a block
On the pushing & pulling wouldn’t you get a better body position if you pushed off on the leg opposite the ball ? In Soccer as a goalie to get more distance you push off with the near leg , but that puts you horizontal as I would think pulling from that same side would.
so I'm a girl about to try out as a catcher for a baseball club team in college I been a catcher for 11 years and they change the stance to one knee down do you recommend the one knee down technique or should i keep my stance how it was
Because infielders have to throw to first. And catchers can’t move their feet to create the hop they want because of the batter and the fact that they’re 60ft from the pitcher.
He's framing his mitt different than the last guy showed. He's not making that L form with his thumb and first finger that you showed on another video as the correct way to hold your mitt.
Check out Kyle’s video explaining & demonstrating the whole One Knee Down Catching Technique! ua-cam.com/video/9KL4TNtCBXI/v-deo.html
Does this guy do remote training? He’s sharp & explains very well
I was just asked to be a catcher from my coaches and so this video helped me out a ton! Thanks so much as always.
Awesome! Good luck! Keep us posted!
Same happened to me and then I continued the position into Freeman high school summer season
Out of all the catcher videos I have watched, Kyle's explanation and intent with his drills have been the best. Really good stuff!

Great content. The breathing out is amazing. Thank you very much for the video. I will get Shawn to watch this video. Thanks again.
Kyle is LEGIT! As a former catcher who is teaching my son what I know, I really enjoy Kyle's explanations and style.
Great to hear ideas for coaches! Much appreciated

This will help a lot because I’m a 13U catcher so I’m starting to see breaking balls. New Sub thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot, I am trying to get better at blocking from a one knee stance
same it either hits off my ankle where padding is or just straight into my glove

Great video!
How do you know when to block the baseball
Im really struggling on when to block
This was a great video! Keep up with the great content.
hey coach can you give advice on how to bring intensity to the mound and have a dominant pitching mindset
Where should you position your right hand when you are catching bc I have heard behind the ankle or under your torso but I feel like the ankle one will be to slow to get my hand under my glove on a block
Coach, when should we introduce blocking from OKD to youth players? Is it once they feel very comfortable receiving from OKD?
On the pushing & pulling wouldn’t you get a better body position if you pushed off on the leg opposite the ball ? In Soccer as a goalie to get more distance you push off with the near leg , but that puts you horizontal as I would think pulling from that same side would.
what do i do if i know i have to block but i still want to catch the ball?
❤❤❤❤
What gear was he using ?

Why dont infielders drop to 2 knees to block a grounder?
Because infielders have to throw to first. And catchers can’t move their feet to create the hop they want because of the batter and the fact that they’re 60ft from the pitcher.
