Our @ILlightning program was running a catchers workout for us tonight. This was my first time doing throw downs since the fall season ended.

Specific to:
Athletics

A list of 30+ questions to consider asking:

HS players, if you want to use Twitter as a recruiting tool, get some video of you playing defense in your timeline!!! College coaches need to see you playing D, not just 500 videos of you hitting nukes in the cage. Without defensive video, I'm gonna keep scrolling #uncommitted

You’re either teaching your body to throw faster or slower.
Think of all the nonchalant and less than crisp throws you’ve made in your life.
Those nonchalant and lazy throws compound to form bad habits over time. Don’t give them a chance to be created in the first place.

Exactly! If the left fielder bobbles the ball or the throw scoots away a bit, the runner gets to second.

THIS is how you take a turn around first base when the outfield has to range for the ball. (Especially to LF when you have a great angle to see the incoming throw.) If you aren't trying to put pressure on the defense on this type of batted ball, why are you even playing???
