Glove load needs to vary. Not every pitch and location should have a trigger to ground and up. Example here also how head level can help how pitch looks to umpire

How many Jaeger bands @jaegersports are left behind after games during summer ball and tournaments??? Highly recommend to anyone who does not have them or use them. Great tool!!! But remind players to pack them up when finished. Find a lot left behind during summer circuit!.

Generally speaking One area in a Catchers game that needs improvement for youth and HS players is learning how to run the bases. Speed up rules and designated runners for C’s can affect development for decision making and skills for baserunning.

See it in softball more times then you would think. You got a young C who is left handed and does it well no reason to move him IMO

3 types of pitchouts. 1. Traditional PO 2. Unintentional PO. May actually get a chase by batter but body is cleared for take off 3. High pitch PO, gets C to good upright spot. Most cases C’s prefer ball up in zone then down when throwing. Key is P not missing too badly!!
