Catching training mechanics Utilized at other positions

[radness]

For those who take interest in defensive mechanics...
Thot to share this fun video snippet.
Catcher Natalya Rodriguez playing first base.
From her athletic position
Utilizes her muscle memory training like a catcher to her knee, fielding a grounder to the side. Quick agility dialed in! When the parent sent the video to me i said
Hey she did a dirt pitch maneuver. The mom said
'thats what i told her'
So natural for her!
Fielding video


If you care to see the catching training compairison in video below~
First workout no ball.
Second workout with ball.
*Check out foot work to the sides.
*With push/leg explosion getting body to the ball.
*Body posture stays athletic apon glove work.
Enjoy!


Catchers are defensive players.
Train like one!?

DD (catcher) has transitioned from 3B to 1B as a second position because she is very comfortable picking balls in the dirt. She pulls them up and "frames" them from habit.

Getting low to dig a throw

Rad, that is a great video! I assume you are the instructor? That is something I am definitely going to show our catcher. She does a great job for a 10U player, she keeps the pitcher focused and has a great arm. She can use some help with the technical side of it and this video is a perfect start for her. Greatly appreciated!
