Everyday Partner Drills for Catchers

Very few positions have as much action as catching (maybe pitching, but I'm partial). Besides the vital interactions with the pitcher throughout the entirety of a game, catchers are responsible for making big plays, stops at home plate, and quick catches of foul balls.

Here are a few ways to get your pitching game on point:

  • 3 each– strong arm No Glove/Glove
  • inside outside, middle 
  • 3 Pop throws to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
  • Stopped ball pick-up throw 1st 2nd 3rd
  • Bunt throws to 1st 2nd 3rd 
  • Pop Up mask throw catches.  
  • Blocking techniques all angles.
  • Tag plays at home.
