12 yrs in MLB....I think he knows a thing or 2 about catching...best of all, he is sharing his knowledge with the youngsters coming up. Nice!

[@YouGoPro]

Joey Tirona we’re glad it helps!

[@harrywmc1]

Loved this, I am a catcher playing in Birmingham England, not a lot of coaches / teachers over here, so I really appreciate seeing this Coach Madden, more catchers drills please! maybe cover warm ups for catchers, exercises, crab walking, body posture for blocking drills, transfer, signals, framing, pitching strategy / calling, anything you can give us would be great!

[@YouGoPro]

+NonPlayableCRAB Awesome! I’m glad this vids helps. We will make more for sure!

[@user-rm5pt2ws1s]

Thank you coach! Thank you Mr. Nieves! Appreciate it, God bless..

[@YouGoPro]

You're welcome Jorge! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jorgep1093]

I swear to you coach that my little 7 year old and I were doing the drills with whiffle balls and also with the fingers glove we bought from your website as your reply came through! You are helping fathers and sons spend quality time :) Thank you. (And for those that don't have the finger gloves on Coach Maddens site, the kids love them, we play who can catch the most without dropping a ball, and their concentration and hand eye coordination is fun to watch!)

[@YouGoPro]

You're welcome! It supposed to get cold here in FL tonight too, but no where near 11 degrees! Baseball should be illegal in that cold of weather LOL

[@poisen8841]

I'm going to Indiana but are the leagues good

[@michaelarchie5993]

Also drills how to improve pop time. Or when you get to higher velocity and more run on there fastball how to catch it like the pros. John can you tell me what was on his wrist the black thing hanging off his glove, I wanted to buy it.

[@ThatBeardedVeteran]

Another great catching video. Any plans on doing a blocking drill video for catchers? So glad I found this channel.

[@YouGoPro]

Yes I do! I’ve got a different MLB Catcher coming on who shot 5 vids for us (2 or 3 of them about blocking). Will be up the next few days and weeks!

[@jhieatt20]

Jake Hieatt might be the all star glove attached wrist guard

[@anthonyvella1032]

What kind of wrist guard is that?

[@tayerock6770]

What is the best way to fame a pitch

[@YouGoPro]

+Taye Rock I’ll ask Wil. How’s catching going?

[@tayerock6770]

YouGoPro I'm having trouble with trying to fame the pitch that's are little outside also when I'm trying to throw people out

[@YouGoPro]

Well, Wil actually made a great video about throwing runners out that will be posted soon so make sure you are subscribed with notifications on so you can see right when it comes up! It's a good one!

Matthew 3:2

[@typestufff]

Repent Jesus Christ is coming soon

[@SRowe_]

This is a good video and nice tips for behind the plate, but why would you introduce a MLB pro catcher of 12 years and play highlight videos of him hitting the ball, instead of videos of him making great plays behind the plate. Mind boggling.

[@ich9972]

Thought the same thing

[@zoomhardin]
