It will start with his stance behind the plate, then footwork and finally several parts of his arm movement. Then the mental aspect.

The D1 catcher would be better as an instructor, IMHO. (You'll find any number of catchers that can help pitchers; far fewer pitchers who could help catchers

) In any case, the arm movements of a pitcher are very different from the short arm throw of a catcher.

He's got some work to do if he's rainbowing it, but it should be easily fixable with a good instructor. He'll need to do lots of reps, even if it's just shadowing the motion while he watches TV! Overcoming a bad habit in a reaction play like thrwoing to second will take work, but he's definately got time to accomplish it.

Best of luck to him. Gotta love catchers!
