Breaking down catcher position

Dave Valle breaks down defensive work by catchers and how it comes into play on wild pitches and plays at the plate

Love this breakdown! It is so simple and true. Everything has a place but we have to be athletic to block pitches. Especially at youth levels

[@jockoadams3377]

I always thought one knee was a version of the primary catching position (no one on base). When there's someone on base, gotta use the secondary position. Wider feet, set up to block.

Just watched Mike Zunino get beat on this the other day. Good coaching.

As a catcher watching these dudes down on one knee is ridiculous.

This is why you only go one knee down when having a wild pitch doesnt mean anything like empty bases and not 3 balls or 2 strikes. That's it, imo
