Will got the hardware, but Kirk won the receiving battle with 2 more framing runs. The bottom of the zone was the differentiator. ⬇️ In a series like that, every run matters. Fight to win every pitch. Big impacts aren’t always the big moments.

Nasty ⚡️ Pick a setup that covers expected outcomes Commit to the catch Trust your instincts “Catch catch CATCH” “Catch catch BLOCK”

Present it consistently. Blur the line. Wear the umpire out. Another fire visual from @IQ_Baseball_
Control the ball, move it late, move it fast, move it back to the center. While different locations require different moves, they should all function as a cohesive set. Each move subsequently affects the next move's ability to impact the call. Get your move off, don't waste them

First receiving session back from an injury (1.5 weeks left in cast). Mechanics felt smooth and I was pocketing baseballs as consistent as always. Can't wait to help @turnerpru8 and Backstop Bandits this weekend as a coach at their BOOTCAMP! @collin_wilber @adoffle11 @tp_pratt

Had a great last Weekend with @usaprimetampa hit 400 through 4 games, also solid job behind the plate as well. Played all around great as a team to finish up the fall. @CrosBrosRecruit @ChenzoScanio @turnerpru8 @PNScout

Dynamic⚡️ Set yourself up in a way that BEST prepares you to execute the demands of the game on that pitch Absolute clinic last night from both Dingler and Cal
From last night’s Mariner-Tiger playoff game. Accurate 1.94 laser throw out by Dillon Dingler. Note how he transitions from a sprinter stance to a staggered receiving stance & then back to a sprinter’s stance when the runner breaks.

Polished 2027 catcher that keeps getting better ⬇️⬇️ Solid LEFT HANDED bat Can more than handle high-level arms and lead a staff. Keep goin @JAliakbarian08 📈
Some work behind the plate in our first pool play game, catching one of the best arms in the country, up to 95 mph. Also, having some good swings as wel. Looking forward to IMG next weekend. @turnerpru8 @ChenzoScanio @usaprimetampa @CrosBrosRecruit
