What about the location of the throw? What side of the bag? Who is catching the ball? 2b or SS? The test make “one handed” program type catchers. It begin with our Area Code tryouts and it does produce a quality catcher.

Amen. I can’t tell you how many showcases I have been to (scouting) that catchers throw downs to 2B have been a joke. All the emphasis is on pop times - which don’t mean Sh$t if the throw isn’t accurate,  Catchers are standing up when the pitch is halfway there trying to record a pop time. It means nothing if it isn’t an accurate throw. Kids need to stop chasing numbers and learn how to play the game .
