Tips for catchers

By Anirudh on October 9

Catchers are some of the boldest players in baseball. It involves a great deal of courage and strength to catch pitches hurled at dangerous speeds. Catchers have to be mentally strong and courageous. A lot of parents think their children can be great catchers. They should know that it is not an easy job. Catching is tough and your child has to be tough.

Here is how you can see if your child can become a pro catcher!

When your child puts on the equipment, check to see if he is actually comfortable wearing the uniform. Natural catchers will feel comfortable in the uniform right away.
Notice how he wears the baseball glove. If he is fidgeting with it and is uncomfortable with it then he might not be ready to catch baseballs.
Check for the stance. A confident catcher will be comfortable and at ease with his posture and stance. It might not always be the standard stance but if the catcher is comfortable then it is a good sign.
Catchers should have confidence. When the ball goes past the baseball bat and comes swerving at the catcher, he should not be afraid of the ball. He should look to tackle the ball and grab it in his glove.

Look for these qualities and aim to build these factors into your child’s training and he will become a great catcher!
