Flexibility

I may be over ruled on this one but to me catching is about quickness - I dont think you can be quick if your not flexible - which means plenty of stretching - from my perspective watching my son over the years stretching is left up to him with little coaching "support"

flexibility is extremely important. thats how you are able to get low when you catch, its how you are able to block balls side to side or even in front in the dirt, its how your able to throw out runners while still holding a strike. in my opinion, without flexibility, one cannot reach their full potential as a catcher.
