Missed reply to these questions...
When is good time to use them? Save knee's?
*Use our legs from the begining so they dont get to the point the knee's cant be saved!
This topic and mobility are why i use and teach an athletic flat footed crouch.
Feet outside of body.
Knees at least as wide as shoulders. (sometimes farther) No saggy tushie.
Muscles already engaged, balanced and strong ready to go!
is he using his glove to balance?Is this guy lazy?
Lol so he's not lazy he's resting.he’s just resting while he practices his Hall of Fame speech.
Also experience catchers stating better without them!I took my DDs off and actually she stated it felt better without them. Happy I caught it super early in this catcher life
Thanks all for the feedback. I am more educated
Why do most not wear them?The pads are securely affixed behind the leg and weigh very little.
Why do so many MLB catchers wear them?
I recognize your pointing out the term lazy.Agree. It is an individual decision. I think it is questionable to label those who use them as lazy. It’s not much different than the decision by an infielder to use a face mask or for a batter to use and elbow protector.
