Got intentionally walked... so next at bat I pimped one 😂

My son showed me this drill today so I figured I would use it with my group of catchers tonight.... Yup that's called water bottle receiving

So this is a .33 load... .65 release.... 1.81 pop
Now if you still think you throw 1.8s after seeing this ... you're either delusional or you're better then the best catcher/athlete in the Show

Coaches: a passed ball is a ball that is catchable that deflects off or out of the glove where a runner advances... ITS NOT A BALL IN THE DIRT THAT GETS BY.... thats called a WILD PITCH and its all on your pitcher...

Showed the kids last night how I sat up and received back in the day... wow that was 19 years ago? Wide knees, posture, glove at bottom of zone, let the ball come to me and make it look like you could roll out of bed and do it without any extra effort

Hit with your eyes... and dance with the pitcher... load when he loads, step when he steps, land when he lands, continue the swing... see ball and be on time... not hard

This entire dig-me culture of I'm showing you up everything I do anything is impossible to get my head around... zero fear or responsibility for actions... they threw at next batter but missed... who allows kids to play like this? BE BETTER.. COACHES

Hard to believe I'm still doing this at age 51... but if I'm going to teach how to be calm and make receiving look easy then I have to be able to practice what I preach... legs are shot though 🤣

We used to all try to mimick Charlie O because of how easy receiving looked the way he did it.. there is no one with hands like this and it was 10x better if you got to see him live ... yeah he's the GOAT when it comes to receiving

Quick video of how I was able to get a strike called for me after the previous pitch was called a ball in the exact same spot... Every time I NEEDED a strike I used this approach and anyone that threw to me knew all they had to do was hit my glove and it was called a strike

So when people dig up my stats and say I hit .225 they need to also know I was a backup.. not by choice but those were my cards.. shuttle guy who could catch.
One time in 11y I was an everyday guy for 3 months - AA with the Yankees where I hit .336... tough to hit as backup

Found some old old game footage of when I played... this is from 2004 catching Zach Duke in AA... yep I was a student of Charlie OBrien for receiving... that's how we all set up back then, right

When the barrell is below the hands then you are at your weakest position.. they cant even stop a pinkie finger from pushing your bat back... wrists are bones.. watch the end and enjoy

So many good things going on here:
1. Showed target
2. Weight is centered in stance
3. Relaxed arm/glove hand pre pitch
4. Let the ball come to him -didnt grab
5. Glove wide open before impact
6. Thumb down on impact
7. "Move as fast as you can for 4 inches"
8. Smooth

This is why you don't angle your chest to the plate on a breaking ball.. when the ball hits the ground it goes straight back.. so if you angle you will deflect it and have to go get it... stay square to keep in front of you
So yes, many of you are taught the wrong way

If you hit a bomb and make a big production of it (giant bat flip, screaming, pointing) .... then your showing everyone you are a "ME" guy... ME guys don't tend to go very far... be a team guy who respects the game and his opponents all the time

For all the catchers that get sucked into the you have to throw harder come train with us 💩... last years top thrower gunned down 48% of his runners (insane) .... he was 4th in avg release time (0.61) and ranked 30th in arm strength w/his avg arm strength was under 80mph

Most of the idiots on this app can't see anything wrong... they have zero history on what the Yankees represent regarding tradition... clean shaven, pants blouse (minors) and no one acting above the org.. Gen-Me is pathetic...

🚨 PSA: hs catchers 🚨
Stop putting your showcase pop times in your bio... your not a 1.90, 1.80 or 1.75... if you are doing that in a game then you would be already committed & scouts would be coming in to 👀 you... only 1 kid here that is and he's way too humble to post that

Catchers... dont ever let this shit happen... you stand just in front of home plate and tell him to watch what happens.... then the next guy up has the Bullseye🎯 ... thats how you handle it

Things that look tired on the field..
1. Strutting to 1b after a walk
2. Taking 0-0 FB then stepping out and nodding your head like now your ready
3. Lobbing balls around the horn
4. Sliding glove (go feet 1st- prob solved)
5. Jogging to and from field
6. 3-0 hacks when 1-2

Interesting little study on how to always be quicker.. focused last night on the time from glove to front foot strike... regardless of how fast you load... 0.47 to land is getting you around 0.65... but our goal is 0.40 to get below 0.60... here are 4 throws showing it

only 15 guys averaging under 0.70 release...
* look at arm strength kids... you don't need a bazooka (Realmuto is a cyborg)... take him out and its 75 mph to 81 mph
* in other words, the radar guns put on you at showcases are irrelevant

If you go out to catch the ball instead of staying deep and transferring.... you will lose about 0.12 - 0.15 ... wonder why your a 2.2? Starts with your transfer

When coaches do this to 12 year olds...
Not only should he be banned from ever coaching again but all the girls on his team should leave him... why would you want to be associated with a coach like this... society is broke
I can’t believe what I’m watching! Look at this 1st base coach stick his left leg out and trip this 12 year old girl trying to catch a foul ball! This happened last night in East Texas.

Combining 90s and early 2000s style with today... my hands were always good enough to get plenty of pitches under the zone... game was played more on corners then... move it when needed (shadow zone) but if it's a strike then just receive it

Kids:
There is no right/wrong way to do things at our position as no 2 catchers are the same..different athletes come in different sizes.. just bcuz someone doesn't like the way you do it doesn't mean it won't work 4u.. work at YOUR craft not someone elses

PSA:
Wild Pitches are a pitchers stat... not a catchers stat. If ball hits glove in the air and gets by then and only then its a passed ball.. anything in the dirt or in a location where the catcher has to dive or jump.... is on the pjtcher

Catchers:
When you try to throw hard you lose time on getting grounded as well as on your release.. throwing 80+ is great to 2b as long as your happy being over 2.00 (in game).. throw fast vs throw hard.. more distance = lost time... focus on how quick u can pull the seams
