I'll work on the tape and forward it to everyone.. success rate has been phenominal with the young kids.. i have had a group of 3 kids since the spring ranging 10-12 and they picked it up with ease

the best case is a kid who just entered his freshman year... he already has a reputation of being one of the top defensive catchers in the area -- caught a varsity game in 8th grade and blocked 14/16 during that game.... he is so polished right now that we brought him with the East Coast Grays to the WWBA 18u NE Qualifier in long island --- and the 2 innings he caught got him a ton of interest from major DI programs as a follow

as far as baserunners go, it almost shuts them down... when they block the ball it stays right under their body.. if the runner takes off, the catcher grabs it, stands up and throws him out.... if the ball kicks out anywhere then the catcher wont have a chance... i'll try to film my kids next wed with their lesson
