Pop time is when the ball reaches the catcher. Glove to glove. Or hitting the catcher to the infielders glove.
Add the farther behind the plate the ball travels the farther the throw.
Controlling the ball front is a shorter throw. Than letting the ball travel back further.
12" back equals a 24" farther throw.
Fielding the ball Transition into throw no down time.
Where as blocking pop time starts when ball hits catcher.....then involves finding ball TO pick up ball to then throw.
Also many times the ball hits catcher and deflects away. Losing more time.
* This is not an arguement it is a discussion.
These " Field & Fire" mechanics are tried and true!!!
