Coach, you're so right about how great it is to get to watch the best back there. The best catchers really are a joy to watch.

I've had the good fortune to have three of the kids who played with us in previus summers go on to play currently at D1 schools and four more who are catching at jucos, but the best I've ever seen is the kid who'll be our #1 catcher this coming summer. He's an '09, just a junior, but is already commited to Oregon State and will be a legitimate draft prospect next year if he stays healthy and continues to develop. He's 6'2 and 220 very solid, lean pounds. Great defensive skills and a cannon hanging from his right shoulder. At the plate, he's a legitimate #3 or #4 power hitter. The best are a lot of fun to watch, and coach too!
