Here’s the video where Kyle dives deep into the whole One Knee Down Technique ua-cam.com/video/9KL4TNtCBXI/v-deo.html
Thanks for using the word "New School" because youth baseball is quickly becoming Old School vs New School mentality and methods.
my daughter has been taught this method. her glove work is awesome. the way she pushes balls into the zone is a sight to behold
Yah the technique was taught in mlb coming into the 2019 mlb season then spread to all facets of baseball and softball. I luv it you get that low strike call
These 2 videos on 1 knee down are some of the best catching videos I have seen. Very cool and useful information.
This vid couldnt have came out at a better time. Im my hs teams jv catcher and our first game is friday and these recieving drills are gonna help out alot in the long run
Glad it helps! 👊😉
This is one of the best videos about framing out there
I think it’s the best! Who else puts out 23 mins of free info with a current pro prospect? I’m a little biased though and Kyle is damn good at explaining things. Not to mention a true Stud! 👊😜 ...what I meant to say was Thank you!
@@YouGoPro thank you for providing this great content. I will look into the catching ramp.
Great instruction. Clear and precise. I leaned a lot.
Great video thanks for making it !! Kids like me are always looking for tips to get better.
one knee down works very well for my daughter in 14u. She's no longer focused keeping her balance. She started framing on her own after watching this video and already sold a few strikes!
That's bad umping is this fools you. Matter of fact, I don't call the glove, I call the plate
Thanks for this vid! I’m a catcher so I could use this
Same
Wow this is perfect! Using this for my catcher camps!
My coach bought catchers gear for his son and let us use it, I found a love for catching and now I’m learning the best I can before sinking all the money for my own equipment when I start getting competitive
I saw a video on this from a catcher in the minors and I’m finally glad this strategy of glove on the ground before the pitch and dragging it up is being implemented
Great stuff guys, thank you
What great thoughts on how to shorten the game. Thank you for sharing! Awesome!
Awesome information. I have. 14u catcher who is struggling some with how to frame and work through the ball! Thank you from one frustrated mom! Lol
Good stuff my man!
Appreciate it!
After talking to many older catchers and a good bunch of pitchers, the dropping of the glove is not universally liked. It is the current technique, but honestly pitchers hate the target dropping away while they are in the motion. All the pitchers I talked to said it is not good to move the glove during hard focus. One former Minor league catcher thought it a fad and doesn’t help with calls at all. All it does is make a lousy target. His words..” The Ump has a hard time seeing the glove down there if at all. It doesn’t make sense, you are just making the pitcher’s job more difficult.”
Not sure if this is too late but could I also use a school binder that's at a similar angle in place of the ramp? Or Is the angle different or something?
Excellent video, guys. Baseball truly is a game of inches and it is also a game of a single out or a single great play. If you can receive a slightly outside ball with minimal distracting movement to present to the ump for called strike three and in doing so you take the bat out of the opponent's clean up guy's hands and you hang on for the win, then that single strike is invaluable. it can be the diff between a W or and L or even a championship. Go Twins!
As a pitcher i hate how current day catches come up through the ball. Putting the glove on the ground for me atleast is a visual distraction
Umpires will eventually stop giving framing calls, but for now they are way behind. When the auto strike zone is implemented, and it will be, this goes out the window. In close games where movement is crucial, one knee is slower. Not slow, but slower. Cost a run against Vanderbilt.
What about receiving curve balls and sliders etc..
I see you! Best training videos for baseball out there. 👌⚾️
Thank you sir! Kyle made this one easy.
@@YouGoPro that's what happens when you got a couple ballers working together! I'll stay tuned for what you have coming up next!
@@stevedub20 my man! 👊😉
Totally understand the principle behind starting with the glove down and a good low target. Personally don’t like and will never agree with starting on one knee down (especially the right knee down and left knee up, seems like it would hinder receiving that low inside pitch to a right hand batter, especially a hard sinker or 2 seamer from a right hand pitcher) but what seems to be happening with this trend is this is more of a band aid for younger catchers (teenage and on up) to just try receive pitches that are already strikes cleaner. Would love a little more in depth about getting behind balls and catching strikes vs pitches that are already cock shots. Could you guys go into more detail about receiving those low strikes at the batters shins and how to “get behind” balls. I’m noticing a lot of younger kids are struggling with the glove side low pitch because they are getting “thumbed” since they can’t seem to get in a good receiving position since the pitchers command isn’t that great at a younger age. Appreciate the response and keep up the good work!
Agreed. Call me a grump, but the one knee is for college and up with no runners on. I’m not entirely lose minded, but it always seems like you’re losing an aspect of receiving the ball up in the zone to get on top or shifting side to side. Most pitchers at a younger level don’t hit their spots as consistently and most young catchers don’t have as good as hands. With runners on base, the average high school catcher is gonna need to slide more often than not.
Great video! Thank you
I am so happy 🎉
Awesome video
Baseball Fiji loved it
Would you use the same framing technique with no knees down
Would this same method of framing work with a bigger ball(softball)?
When I caught 300+ pitches every day before school in February, I wish I had this training. If we had weighted mitts in Feb?!!?!?!? My game would be A ball, getting drafted as a senior/NCAA player. Listen up kids. If you practice like this at 14/15yrs old... You game will lvl up
I got no issue with the new presentation but as we teach this new craft MLB will implement roboumps. So are we wasting efforts and time or not? Just asking.
What about 94 with inside run? Your thumb will explode. What do you say about that? Where is the relaxing of the wrist before the pitch is thrown? I guess I’m kind of confused.
jus use a 4in binder for the ramp if you dont have enough money to buy it
Question. My son is 6 years old and playing for the first time. He is catching this and playing from 1 knee. When in this position his thigh is completely exposed. I played catcher also but played in the traditional stance so this is hard for me to grasp
He is 6 so I would recommend using knee savers and traditional until it gets competitive and he needs it
He is 6 bruh for real
So with this working low to high technique is it a moving target for the pitcher then?
Yes. The pitcher has no target.
Why should my son catch with one knee down? And what if there is a ball in the dirt?
Here’s 16 mins that answer your question 😉 ua-cam.com/video/9KL4TNtCBXI/v-deo.html
Will this all be a moot point once the computers take over umpiring which is coming soon?
How do you receive it the balls is high?
Traducir en español porfavor'venezuela
Tengo un hijo catcher
maybe im hindering myself but im simply not spending all that money on so many different gloves all for a couple of training drills
this is good.can anyone donation somebase ball equipment in my school.because we have equipment more than old
Oswaldo José zacarias arroyo
I know umpires whose philosophy is no one moves strikes. If they see you moving your mitt, they assume you are trying to steal strikes. So you may lose some strikes doing this that you might have gotten.
If your playing good ball chances are you’ll get good umps, obviously with some exceptions but don’t count on an exception!
yeah its only happened to me one time but it was like 5 years ago
Anyone else realize he called the Stanton home run that happened yesterday? He said 470 and it was 471 👀sus haha
Stanton finally got a hit??
Okay I get it now. But if I were a catcher I would wear a football thigh pads.
No , you have to wear actual catching gear dummy.
Isn’t pitching to a target important. Low glove position doesn’t provide location for pitching . Seems like to much glove movement. Love to hear your feedback as a pitcher throwing to this technique
Absolutely not a fan, I play in the NWAC and my catchers are too focused on this style and miss and drop a lot of pitches, if I miss a ball up in the zone but still a strike it'll tip off there glove and go over there head
@@BadAssBassFishermen just watching this catching style annoys me, and it annoys me even more that people genuinely think it's better.
@@nathanielzervos1265 statscast has proved it’s better. Best advanced stats show jose trevino on the Yankees is the best at receiving in the mlb. He does this exact technique.
Imagine LEARNING this new and improved technique as an adult! Could you imagine? Most pitchers in upper level are quite familiar with using the batter and the plate to place pitches. As a softball catching coach, a catcher when I played and a coach who trains my third generation catcher daughters, I assure you that there are significant (albeit my own antidotal experiences and research) impact on the game when proper framing ESPECIALLY using this new technique is utilized.
If you have noticed as of late, catchers are starting to ready themselves on one knee as opposed squatting into their receiving positions. If thought through critically, it makes absolute sense to do this so umpires have less of a guide to determine by strike zones.
Low pitches, unless PERFECTLY PLACED, are the toughest to get a good call on, even more so in softball so how could receiving from the underside of the ball NOT considerably improve the likelihood of the call?
I hated teaching this in the beginning, mostly with older ball players. I was set in my ways bc my ways were tried and true. From coach pitch to D1, what I taught worked and I was stubborn to consider the “new” styles because it’s such a drastic shift in body movement, “muscle memory” and stance to what we would consider proper receiving practices and a little bit bc I felt old and obsolete. But seeing the calls being made, (the biggest being the low inside) made me a believer and my engineering thought process was like “well shit, of course it works, it’s not about me”.
As catchers, we aren’t trying to prove pitch placement to anyone BUT the HPU, why not use any and all manner of form to ensure you get the call you want? 😉
@@anthonydolce5401 the point is that statcast cannot show whether or not dropping the target reduces the number of strikes. Many catchers want to hold the target as long as possible because they say it helps pitchers throw strikes
0:02 bro what 💀
John usually has great contact but this is suspect. You better hope that your pitcher has pinpoint control and doesn't mind a moving target. Good maybe for college level players and above. Youth catchers need to be ready to move and just keep it simple.
It’s not framing, it’s getting behind the ball and sticking it
This really hurts my head...! Cmon guys... let's start with some fundamentals, no starting target for the pitcher, limited mobility for, pitches out of the zone, bunts, steals, and wild pitches. Your thigh is exposed to foul tips. Your priorities are making balls into strikes, until your team is at bat and when the umpire calls a strike out of the zone. Then the priority will be giving the umpire grief because now he's calling it against your team. This technique is a result of mlb and its good pitching always being around the zone, a low number of pitches In The dirt that require blocking, and with velocities up, less balls in play, stolen bases mean less and attempted less as well. And since this has spread like wild fire, I've never seen so many past balls that should have been blocked or at least knocked down. And the number of balls that don't get blocked, just multiply them by 2 or 3 , for every level you drop from College that use this technique. Everyone can see the glove move to frame balls. And how many pitches will a catcher convert into strikes that may have been called anyway...?
ive heard some new school instructors talk about this, that it is taking the frame of reference away from The umpire, because of the moving glove and ability to steal strikes, as if thats a good thing. Its not helping the game. Some advice from an old school catcher turned umpire, keep it simple, if you think its a strike, catch and hold. If an umpire calls a border line pitch in or out, there is way less grief from both sides, if the pitcher hits his target and the catcher doesn't move his glove. And pitches up or down both dugouts know where the pitch crossed, and when the dugout grief starts, zones become bread box sized. Quit trying to fool umpires and help sell the strike. Just catch and hold ,umpires I know are very reluctant to call a border line pitch if the catchers glove is moving on the catch and bringing the glove into the zone, just leave it there. Reminder, that if the umpire calls them straight, you don't have to worry about when it's your turn to hit. Enjoy it while it lasts, Electronic strike zone will be the solution, when mlb teams are tired of getting screwed over on the Frame jobs. Umpires aren't close to perfect, but my prediction is, if this stealing strikes thing continues and promotes a lack of a working relationship between catchers and umpires, mlb will fast track that electronic strike zone.
right on par with the creation (Covid) of laziness in our kids, now Baseball…. I witnessed it first hand. Never have I seen MORE 3rd strike breaking balls bounce off Olay glove than now or 5 hole exploitation!! THIS CREATES LAZY CATCHERS!! STOP THIS INSANITY
Dude farts at 10:52
Lmao
Lmao
Why is the throwing hand exposed? This upward movement won't get many calls. This is terrible set up for youth, takes away any chance of them blocking a wild pitch or throwing out a runner. Style should not be adopted in baseball.
Just don’t do it with runners on
This is a terrible way to play catcher position. You are not going to “trick” the umpire into thinking it’s a strike when actually wasn’t. You add mass confusion and in my opinion set up a pitch with no target. The traditional catcher’s position is far less confusing and more effective.
Terrible take
this is not new , this has been around since the early 1970;s
Nope.
Really dislike how they are teaching catchers to receive the ball today. If it’s a strike, I shouldn’t have to move the glove 8+”. As an umpire, if I see a catcher move his glove 8”, automatic ball.
Still a believer if the ball is breaking into the zone, receive the ball by letting it travel in the zone. If the ball is breaking out of the zone, stick it before it exits the zone.
Also the one knee with guys on base is stupid. You can’t tell me that you are better at blocking the ball or have a faster pop time on one knee. It’s just giving other teams a free 90. Free 90 is more valuable than a “stolen” strike.
You do realize that some of us can't afford all these different gloves, right? This isn't the haves versus the have nots, right?
New school catching is absolute trash. You wanna catch properly watch yadier Molina. You wanna see what this technique does go and watch Gary Sanchez highlights!! Do not catch like this kids.
Close minded, you need to adapt. The game has changed and current analytics show this is the better way. There’s a reason yadi does not rank high at all with catchers receiving metrics.
And this guy was a pro? That is not the way to catch a pitch inside. 🤦🏻♂️
Ahhh can’t stand this method, Jorge Pasada always gave the pitcher a target to pitch to…. Best catcher ever in my mind… plus there’s too much moving of the glove and you’re going to make strikes look like balls… the ump sees too much movement he’s gonna call it a ball. A professional catcher taught me in little league not to pull it too much to a strike or the ump won’t trust you, it has to be subtle and discrete. Not too much movement. Plus too much movement for the pitcher… try keeping the target (glove) up throughout the whole pitch. From stance of the pitcher to catching the ball. I can’t stand the glove drop nowadays it’s lazy and you’re not going to get that strike from the umpire any better if you pull every single pitch perfectly to the middle of you. You hold that glove in the strike zone and don’t move it much, it’s gonna get more strike calls than tossing your glove up after catching it. It’s actually horrific. I had to comment I couldn’t stand it any longer!!! :) no hate just wanna see that target because it was so important to my pitcher and we work together to get strikes✌️
One knee is lazy ,...
