The drill above works fine with balls coming right at the mask, but focus on the most dangerous movement young catchers tend to make.the turning of the head once the ball is bounced in the dirt in front of them.

Here is how I do this using a relatively new, young catcher. All his equipment is important. However, 해외스포츠 가일티비중계 on what I believe is the most significant piece for catchers just starting out. I begin right at the top.the head and mask. The most dangerous motion young catchers make is turning their head away from balls in the dirt. I've seen kids get struck under the chin, on the side of the neck and close to the throat. This hurts. They then become afraid of the ball hitting their mask. This is something I attempt to get rid of real fast.

You may be gripping the bat too tightly. It's a known fact that you can swing the bat more efficiently and quicker by not gripping it too tightly. It's the same exact principle for a pitcher grasping the ball tighter to slow down the speed of the pitch to fool the hitter. Gripping the bat too closely will really slow down your bat speed like it slows down a pitch by the pitcher.

Young catchers with expertise at this point usually have a look of anticipation and focus. They are concentrating on your release and the ball, not worrying about getting hit by the ball. Most of the time it is not hard to see the difference.

The Cardinals' ace will miss at least his next scheduled start against the Astros on Friday after informing team coaches of elbow stiffness, soreness and swelling following Sunday's season-opening loss to the New York Mets. "I wish I could explain how or why, but I can't," Carpenter said. I will explain it - he is hurt! Pitchers, even great ones, get hurt all the time. Sometimes it's a substantial injury, such as Pedro Martinez last season (he will not pitch in 2007 until about August).

Make sure the back of your bottom hand is facing the pitcher when you begin your swing. Bear in mind, it should be one palm up and one palm down at the point of contact instead of before.
