been over a year since this was taken damn. I’ll clarify some things: -By no means am i like a really good catcher i just enjoy the game, and playing in this fun league. I was 15ish in this video. -Coming back and scrolling through the comments is sometime i do like once a month and it gives me good laughs, thanks those for their support and the criticisms lol - literally why did this get so many views idk, i uploaded it because my friend (the pitcher)’s grandmother was never able to make it to the games from her disability so i put the footage online for their family. anyone who read all of this thanks for your time and i appreciate you all
Im a second baseman, have been my whole life. The respect I have for y’all is incredible. My best friend on my last team was a catcher. Seeing him frame and stuff was so special. Since 2019 I’ve made it a habit when I get to the plate to tell the opposing catcher good job and I have respect.

Just some catching tips from a fellow high school catcher: after you give the pitcher a target, drop the mitt, and move it up to catch it. It really helps on lower pitches such as at 1:45. Awesome video though. The world needs some more polite + polite catchers like you.
I'm a pitcher and I have mad respect for catchers because they sometimes have to play 9 innings in 100 degree weather in all that gear. Even without the heat it still is challenging.
Me being catcher, I love watching other catchers play. Especially if they're wearing a camera. It just gives people the chance to see what it's like to be a catcher.
I’m a center fielder, have been for most of the time I played baseball,and running around in the heat some days can be very challenging, But I have lots of respect for you because being a catcher is definitely the most challenging position, and to think that you have to wear all that gear for nine innings is terrible. Respect.
what I recommend is that you tell your coach that you hate the out field if you do) and they will most likely not put u there my personally i hated it and told my coach he hasn't put me in outfield yet but i play mostly catcher.
Anyone who plays baseball respects catchers. I have 2 main catchers on my team, one of them is super chill and checked up on me constantly after i had a pretty big injury. The second one i dont know so well bevause they are newer, but they are still pretty cool. I have met a few bad catchers, but usually they are all the best guys on the team.
I was my team's starting catcher all through highschool. Cold weather and really hot weather too. This brings back so many memories. Man I loved playing ball.
I love this game. No matter who you are. There is just something special about baseball. Great video. Never forget it's all truly about having fun. I just have one question. Was the blue at second base the only umpire on the field. It sounded like he was calling the pitches also. Am I right or wrong?
As a cricketer i feel the ball so easy to hit out of the ground because every ball in baseball is a "fulltoss" which is the esiest ball to hit by any batsmen, and that too if cricketer is given a baseball bat to hit the ball.
Im shortstop and I fairly respect our catcher. When me and 1st are trying to get the ball from out field, catcher is always ready for me or 1st to throw home.
@@danielcruvant6041 must be because you're 9 that you don't think farther than your nose. When you're 9 you pitch from like 46 feet so of course you're going to pitch that fast over a shorter distance. These guys are probably at 60ft. The ball loses momentum over a longer distance
Tip: You don’t have to stand up every single time when you throw the ball back to the pitcher, and when strike 3 is called and no one is on throw that thing around
I’m an old man now, but I still enjoy watching baseball at any level. Watching this brought back good memories of summers spent at the ballpark playing baseball. Some of my buddies are no longer with us but I am left with great memories. Enjoy it young men, it goes by fast! Nice pitching and catching in this video!!
I am a pitcher who used to catch and I have just one question for the catcher. On a scale of one to ten how bad do your knees hurt by the end of the season?
@@texsion most likely, you can tell by the condition of the field too. the clay doesn't look like its maintained at all. but they all did have to pay the league to play, and there're probably multiple teams with at least 11 kids on each team, so funding shouldn't really be an issue. and there's usually a concession stand that brings in decent money too, but than again this looks very rural so that's probably not the case.
Bro much love for our catchers. Never caught in a game but I had to do bullpen a lot for some reason and that shit was ass. Couldn't imagine doing that for a game when foul balls catch you all the time especially if its hot asf
awesome idea, i think i'll try this at practice. Also if you drop your arm till the pitcher is set and flash where you want the ball, you can get more comfortable behind the plate. Just a tip. I think i'm actually similarly aged to you.

Right and then when we start slacking off they get mad at us

@sponge_bob_man
I'm jealous. I wish GoPros were out back when I played catcher
Do you think you could make a video showing us how to mount your go-pro on your catchers helmet?
i just love the noise of the ball and the glove colliding
The first batters were taking stuff right down the middle
such a nice polite catcher
Actually baseball is a pretty chill sport, and usually there is no real “rivalry” (ex charging the mound) other than the big leagues
I'm so jealous. I wish GoPros were out when I played catcher
5:36 "you just doing incase something crazy happens"?
Catcher:"kinda"
Proceeds to make an epic hit
that was kinda cold

Respect to you for doing outfield, especially center field, after all outfield is crucial to many plays and doesn’t get much appreciation.

The taste of dirt mixed with your own sweat Grainy and salty lol
Oh I do and I don’t get help putting it on
Especially your knees after the inning

I’m a pitcher I have mad respect for catchers for all the work they have to do with stopping a 60-80 mph throw in that heavy gear.
Nah though mad respect for catchers because I’m a little league pitcher and we have to play in 100 degrees
Bro was so respectful to the first batter
EVERYONE GIVE THIS DUDE RESPECT
Fr
Im a catcher and throwing to second is mad hard to do
Gone forever aaron Hernandez
The baseball bat bros
Bro you don't understand how exhausting we are after that
Baseball is a game full of mind games and a lot of catch
I’m a catcher and the hardest thing to think about is when barely missing the last block and the opponent scores the last run😢😤
@Game Dragon for crouching if you don't already get knee savers and for popping up put ur front foot first and make sure to use ur legs
YESSS
I am a catcher pitcher second base shortstop and sometimes outfeild
The worst thing about catching is knowing you have 1 more out and your pitcher gives up a bomb
“your pitcher” the pitcher thinks you his catcher
Nah the worst part of being a catcher is having to sprint out to a bullpen in the outfield with full gear on
It’s like 0-2 too
@@almclipz8069 it’s not that bad
@@fxladq Weird flex, but very on brand for some pitchers
I like how in this leauge people dont just chuck the ball

Catcher calling for the 4 seam down the middle every pitch

Love it
Pitcher throwing a smooth 40 mph

3:29 anyone else notice the ground😂
I did
I was wondering if anyone else saw it so I looked in the comments
Lmao
15u? How fast is he pitching
3:28 do you see it
I am to a catcher 😊 , feels good to watch ❤
Tip: You don’t have to stand up every single time when you throw the ball back to the pitcher, and when strike 3 is called and no one is on throw that thing around
It is a little bit harder to throw when not standing so that’s probably why he does that

Is that rec league?
most definitely
Ok thanks😊
No, its MLB

Why is the umpire standing behind the pitcher
Because they have three umps

True
Yea really even double a and up. And it’s light years away from majors

Love how one of them had a beard and everything 😂😂😂😂

Dude still was getting strike outs
Pretty sure it isn’t the highest level of ball they playing
i mean like its prolyl rec

im a catcher myself , its crazy how nice your players and other team players are they usally trash talk me
The fact that as a catcher I couldn’t stand him not chirping the fact that he ain’t got a belt
I want to be a catcher now
bro how is this pitcher STRIKING PEOPLE OUT with a nice 40 mph, if my team played against that everyone would hit absolute MOON SHOTS.
bro look at the people hitting there not good either
I don’t wanna be a hater but why was the pitcher throwing Italian meatballs😊
I play catcher and this is about as real as it gets
Same
As a lefty I played catcher once and it was hard
not bro kicking the dirt lmao
It takes a really intelligent baseball player who is willing to strap on the tools of ignorance.
Bro the first batter was behind the whole box😭
dope how that kid who looked like he was 29 just slapped a single down the line after he talked a little smack
God bless you all and your families 🙏🏽
that umpire was umping my game in Newmarket
3:28 nice drawing

Love the video but why is there no Batters box?
lol
Because it is wreak I never had a batters box in wreak but in travel I had ine

3:51 lol how'd he miss that? Looked like a ham hock tumbling down a slow conveyor belt
imagine being the batter and seeing a gopro on the catchers head lol

My favorite quote of all time:
“I dunno man that had a lot of white… over the batters box line”
The way the first pitcher is pitching is nasty bad
Why is there another home plate behind the first home plate?
There’s no way he’s walking on the feild

nice video
I wish he would show us batting footage to
Being a catcher this about sums it up
Try being the ump on some of these calls
Y’all say he is throwing 60’s or 70’s y’all capping he throwing slow asf I throw harder and more accurate lol, but nice polite catcher.
yea no joke isn't this a high school team too? My team would crush the ball
