What do you do with your catchers in pregame? Trying to gather some ideas.
While the outfield / infield is doing cuts we usually come out and have them throw 2-4 balls against the backstop to see how it bounces. Then 3 throws to third, 2 inside bunts throws to first, 2 outside bunt throws to first, and if time allows 3 pop up blocks / 2 one hopper tags from left and 2 one hopper tags from right side.
I would like to see how to incorporate at least some throws to second for the catcher.

When OF is throwing to third from CF and RF you could use 2B to catch throw downs
RF though 2B is cutting three.
When LF and CF is cutting three have 2B catch throw downs and then RF have SS catch throw downs? Just seems like could cause confusion.
If you want your catcher to get some throws, when you transition for outfield to infield, throw bag to bag with your infielders. They all get a couple of throws to each bag.
We have our SS be cut guy to all throws to 3B. Keeps it simple and it's easier for him to get proper depth instead of having 2B drop so far. Once you go to CF and LF there should be no confusion especially if you walk through it first to show what's going on.
