[@anthonybonilla6674]

My legs need to get in shape for my season in a couple of weeks any drills for that.

[@catchthisSK]

Yeah, check out the conditioning drills video on the channel. There is three of them working with the tires. GREAT for your quads. Let me know what you think.

[@DAatDA]

Why ever block if you can pick it that clean off the hop?

[@catchthisSK]

Just practicing multiple ways to block and catch the ball. Hope that helps. Let us know.

[@Deacoooooooooon]

Do you think it’s fine to wear a chest piece that is kinda small on me or no

[@catchthisSK]

I would definitely get a chest protector that fits you properly. Its there for your protection. Thanks for you comment. If you need any help let us know.

[@Deacoooooooooon]

Ok thanks

[@butchdavis1148]

As an umpire, this, plus sticking that strike coming in, will insure that you get more pitches in the zone called strikes.

[@catchthisSK]

Thank you very much for the comment here.

[@butchdavis1148]

@@catchthisSK Catchers can really "help" umpires call more strikes by getting in good position, and controlling your movement. When a catcher is moving all over, hovering, "jumping around", etc., it really makes the umpires job more difficult.

[@catchthisSK]

@@butchdavis1148 That is what Coach Lebo is always saying to all of the catchers. You need to understand what the umpires are seeing. Great comments!!

[@jeannekarpaitis9985]

You should be building up the muscles in your arms with all the practice. I never realized how much practice goes in to playing baseball. In the long run all this work will benefit you for college and beyond. To be good at anything practice is the name of the game!!

[@catchthisSK]

Yep he is working his butt off. Practice, Practice, Practice. We are always at the facility. He loves it!

[@fsub616]

I commented something on a previous video and you asked me to check out some of the newer videos so i did. Kid is definitely gonna be a stud. When it comes to receiving with him he doesnt work through the ball to try and explain it, he kind of goes and reaches out and gets above the ball then he has to go back down on the ball which is letting the ball manipulate his glove. Its hard to explain vs showing.

[@fsub616]

i see that mostly with the low pitches but there were a couple of times where i saw that with pitches in the middle of the zone

[@catchthisSK]

Gotcha. Thanks for the comment. There is more videos on the channel that are newer videos. Check them out.

[@catchthisSK]

We haven't loaded any videos lately. He has been busy with high school baseball. We will be live streaming his game on this Monday. Hope to see you there on the chat.

[@fsub616]

@@catchthisSK depends im a college guy personally so i might have some homework and extra ball work to attend to depending on the time id love to tune in

[@Deacoooooooooon]

Is he on a club or highschool team?
