New article on blocking curveballs/dropballs/changeups
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share this with you all. I just posted a new article on the difference in blocking curveballs. Feel free to give it a read. It has some moving GIFs and it's a little lengthy so I didn't want to post the article in it's entirety here, but the link is listed below.
Here's the initial excerpt...
When we talk about blocking and our initial instruction of the skill, we can separate the reasoning for why this particular skill is so difficult into two different areas. The consistency of the mechanics used to block a pitch in the dirt and the ability to read the ball in the dirt versus one we need to receive. As we get older and start catching pitches with significantly more movement than we see at the younger levels, we need to fully understand the sequence of the block for every possible circumstance and situation.

Thanks for reading.
