I first focus on a crucial mindset shift, where you must fully expect to block any pitch. Next, I explain how to utilize your momentum and stance so you can seamlessly transition into a block or stay in receiving mode. I then highlight the importance of early pitch recognition, training yourself to pick up spin and trajectory as soon as the ball leaves the pitcher's hand. Finally, I emphasize that repetition is what cements these skills-through focused practice, your reaction to block or receive will become second nature. By consistently applying these four principles-mindset, momentum, early reads, and repetition-you'll boost your confidence behind the plate, earn your pitcher's trust, and ultimately help your team win more ballgames. I encourage you to really internalize these concepts and make them a staple in your training routine. ----- Follow me on INSTAGRAM ➡️ https://www.instagram.com/the_catching_lab/ -----
