Benefits to this Drill

Set up in primary stance

Each ball represents a pitch being thrown in the dirt

Body moves toward ball that is not right at the catcher

Glove and body positioning as catcher rotates around

Works a simulated block and recovery

Common Miscues

Glove is not tucked

Body does not drive to the ball

Head is up; throat exposed

Catcher cannot recover with his legs

Identify the Standout

Catcher shifts over and centers the ball in a good “C” (The curvature in your spine to keep the ball in front of you)

Chin is down, elbows are beside the ribs with no holes

Catcher uses leg strength to get back to feet and quickly move to next ball

You can also use the same drill by lining up the balls to either side of the catcher
