To learn how to get into the proper throwing postition to each base by concentrating on the lower half of the body.
Equipment
Full catcher's gear is recommended (mask necessary)
Pitching machine
Baseballs
Description
Set up a pitching machine in front of the pitchers mound, approximately 15 to 20 feet away from home plate. The catcher starts in their regular position to receive the ball.
In rounds of three, the catcher recieves each ball from the machine and moves his body towards the designated base to simulate a throw.
Tips
Concentrate on technique first, not speed. One the athlete starts feeling comfotable, speed up the drill.
To make the drill more complicated, add a hitter so the catcher has to throw around them.
