Baseball Catcher: How to Block a Pitch

The most important job of a baseball catcher is to keep the ball in front of him at all times. This video gives youth baseball players the proper technique for blocking balls thrown low in the dirt or outside.

This looks really great and something coaches can easily use for drills with the younger kids. Your video segments were perfect… quick and to the point.
