Reply to "The Importance of Catching"

The Head Coach is critical to the development of a catcher. Confidence in the "calling" of pitches by the catcher.

"Micro Managing" can hinder the development of the catcher. During the AC games I often ask the catchers what position did they play in football. QB and linebacker.

The "on deck" batter will "non-verbally" tell the catcher what pitches he cannot hit. His feet in the batter's box will continue this investigation by the catcher and his pitcher.

"read the bat" "read the feet"!!!!!

Example: if the RH hitter's right toe is pointed "out", where will he hit the ball? If a runner's right toe is pointed out, is he stealing??
