IN THE LAB with carson_27_binder
A fast pocket is an accurate pocket ⚡️

If you’re struggling to find the pocket consistently, the first adjustment you should make is to be faster and more aggressive with the pocket.

Relax the arm.
Load the glove.
Chill.
Throw that pocket at the pitch FAST.

Don’t slow down or tense up and just “try to catch it.”

You probably won’t catch it that way.

If you do, it won’t look good.

Trust yourself. Be on offense against the baseball. Frickin rip it. Watch what happens.

Good stuff from carson_27_binder from Holy Cross Baseball

POSTSEASON STRIKE THIEF 🥷 Patrick Bailey

The best receiver left standing in the MLB ⚾ Postseason with the Cleveland Guardians - here are some of his best receptions so far in October.

All out of the zone, low percentage strikes.

Won with intentional setups, prepatory glove loads, sufficient patience, offensive aggression, and elite glove efficiency. ⚡️

THROWING TO THE CORNERS 🎯
at BACKSTOP BOOTCAMP with Mike Dato

Catchers working through a progression to help them feel the momentum of the pitch initiate their turn into their back side, setting them up to rotate efficiently and get quick, accurate throws off to both 1B and 3B 🔫

Small groups allow for each catcher to get quality reps with real instruction and direct feedback from our coaching staff.

And thanks to the incredible Reds Baseball Academy facility, we get plenty of space to make game like throws to all bases.

We’re coming back to Chicagoland on November 14-15 for our next BACKSTOP BOOTCAMP‼️

High school and Youth sessions both expected to sell out.

COMMENT “BOOTCAMP” FOR REGISTRATION DETAILS

See you soon.

CALM IN THE CHAOS⚡️

A baseball game is a chaotic environment.

Someone has to be a stabilizing influence.

We believe that is the responsibility of the catcher.

Prepare accordingly.

Patterning the glove side move ⚡️

Winning the glove side pitch takes some intentional actions in how we set up, prepare our glove, and make our move.

My guy Ethan Banks crushed this sequence and was getting some absolute money moves off on a nasty right handed sinker 💸😮‍💨⚡️
