Our guy, @concap02! Absolute Hand Cannon behind the plate. His average velo to 2B is 85mph. Ripped off a 92mph to 2B last year, wouldn’t be surprised if this was up there.

A moment J.C. will never forget. This offseason, @jcescarra got a tattoo commemorating his first MLB start 🙌

Gross Catholic alum Connor Capece is on watch as one of the nation’s best D-I catchers 👏

HAPPY NATIONAL #CATCHERS DAY Here's to the most selfless position in sports. • Blocking balls in the dirt so others don't have to • Calling the game so others can shine • Taking foul tips, crossed-up signs, and balls off the thumb • Leading without the spotlight • Owning the pressure when everything matters Catchers don't ask for credit. They take responsibility. The heartbeat. The field general. The last line of defense. If you know, you know.

Bluejay catcher Connor Capece named a Top-50 backstop by @d1baseball. Capece cecked in #32! d1baseball.com/season-preview…

More work at our complex w/ our guys. Pretty simple but using a constraint like a 2-3 lb wrist weight can challenge timing and speed.

Mastering the Catch: Evolving Techniques for Catchers The initial movements a catcher makes before receiving a pitch - often called the pre-pitch, glove load, mitt trigger, or hand load — are vital for a successful catch. These movements are crucial for creating the ideal pocket angle and achieving perfect timing for a fluid reception, adapting to the pitch's angle, speed, and intended location. This foundation begins with the catcher's stance or setup, which is the base of the "pyramid" of receiving. In the past, techniques like the "quarter turn," "wrist roll," or "relaxed hand" were common. As new approaches emerged, catchers began experimenting with different methods. For example, @tflowers25 was known for flipping his mitt completely upside down to generate velocity upon reception. Other techniques included "pancake" loads and "thumb taps." This video focuses on a newer technique we'll call the "cup load." With this method, the mitt doesn't touch the ground but is positioned closer to the inner thigh (at "cup height," which is the bottom of the strike zone). This approach offers several advantages: • The mitt's starting position remains hidden from the umpire. • It stays below the strike zone. • It allows for a quicker move to high pitches. • It can be just as fast, if not faster, than other techniques. Ultimately, the goal is to serve both your pitcher and the umpire by ensuring a clean, effective catch every time.

AUSTIN HEDGES, CLE - This isn't just another session of sitting behind a machine and catching balls —it's a masterclass in pushing the limits. People watching might not fully grasp just how fast this move is; it's high velocity on another level! He might miss one, but that's not the point. The key is his mindset: constantly looking for ways to move even faster. The takeaway here is to embrace failure. Don't get down on yourself. Stretch your limits and find out what you're truly capable of.

Great start to the new year and helping @elkhorntraining kick off their 9 year anniversary! #FieldGeneral
