Understand the why behind modern receiving.
Why are catchers setting up on one knee? Why does the glove move the way it does? How do setup, targeting, and glove action work together to help a catcher receive the baseball more effectively?
The Catcher's Receiving Handbook was created to provide players, coaches, and parents with a practical framework for understanding the evolution of receiving and the concepts being taught throughout the game.
Written from experience as both a professional catcher and professional baseball coach, the Handbook explores the principles behind successful receiving without suggesting that every catcher needs to look or move the same way.
Topics include:
- Modern receiving philosophy
- Traditional and one-knee stances
- Using different setups to create receiving solutions
- Targeting
- Glove mechanics and movement
- Sign giving and game calling
- Building effective receiving training environments
The bulk of the Handbook focuses on setups, targeting, and glove mechanics, while also providing the drills we use to put those concepts into practice.
With more than 100 pages of content, the Catcher's Receiving Handbook is designed to help you better understand not just what you're training, but why you're training it.
For players. For coaches. For parents.
