[@catchthisSK]

Thank you very much for your comment. Sorry we haven't posted in awhile. Shawn is finishing up his first year at Bloomsburg University. Then heading to Flordia for the summer on a league. Videos to come soon.

[@nathanaelsuriel2309]

Damm dammm bruh kid got hustle he’s 100 percent focused keep putting that work no one running on u 😂💪🏽💪🏽

[@catchthisSK]

Thanks for the comment he’s working his tail off.

[@Streetdesigns1]

Love the one knee stance with runners on base! Great video

[@catchthisSK]

Thanks very much for the comment. If you would like something added on the next video let us know here in the comments.

[@indyfosho5458]

I'd rather see my catcher up on the balls of the feet, legs staggered ready to throw. One knee down imo is being less ready to move if theres a need to....

[@t.i.m.gthisisntmygarage1241]

That catcher is Awesome

[@catchthisSK]

Thank you very much for your comment. Shawn works his tail off.

[@ifitfitsitrips5600]

Good job Shawn. Nice video and looking forward to the next video.

[@catchthisSK]

Thanks. Videos are loaded usually every Friday.

[@cryptocoinfamily623]

Great video. Looking forward to your next one.

[@catchthisSK]

More to come!

[@Thegoat-rg7kp]

Learning how to catch for a tournament cause I have to catch in a tournament out of nowhere so here I am learning

[@catchthisSK]

There is another video of Shawn prepping for a showcase and some drills. I'm glad we are able to help out all the catchers out there in the baseball world. Share the channel when you have a moment. It all helps out the channel. Thanks again for your comment.

[@FatsCaton]

Alot of kids don't have the balance to do the squatting so this technique is really nice.

[@catchthisSK]

Thank you very much for the comment. Check out the rest of the channel. Sorry haven't been loading any videos lately Shawn just finished his freshman year at Bloomsburg. So no training videos in the past year. There will be more this summer.

[@FatsCaton]

My son is 8 years old and in his last year of machine pitch. They threw him in a catcher with no experience so here we are lol....

[@catchthisSK]

Any way we can help please let us know. Glad to help out in any way possible.

[@sterlinghousewashpressurew9594]

Great job coaching

[@catchthisSK]

Hey, thanks so much for the comment. I have a buddy in Saint Augustine, FL that has his own pressure washing business.

[@loganchaney5981]

Awesome video I love the one knee

[@catchthisSK]

Thanks!

[@tharkling8325]

I do the one knee stance when there’s no runners on because my pop time seems effected by it when I throw the runner out

[@catchthisSK]

That is fantastic. Thank you very much for your comment. There is alot of people that are using the stance and its working for them as well.

[@nathanaelsuriel2309]

He just makes it look too ez man wow good as foot work good speed on those throws to wow bruh makes me wanna go to the field and work rn 😂😂😂

[@catchthisSK]

Thanks man. I will make sure to tell Shawn to read your comments. Thanks again. We haven't posted lately on the channel because he has been busy with high school ball. Three games a weeks and practice on the off days. We will have more videos coming soon. Thanks for watching and share as much as you can...

[@brysontoner903]

Loved the video, I have a question on the right knee down set up however. On a dirtball on the left side of you, how do you block it? On the right side with right knee down it is much easier because u can just slide your knee I noticed. But I am not sure how you block a left side dirtball with the right knee down. Great video

[@catchthisSK]

Good question. Check out the other video "Baseball Catcher Drills | Blocking drills and Sweep Tags" Its a little new and coach explains it a little better about blocking like your talking about in the other video. Let me know if this helps. If no please let us know and we will make another video for you. Thanks for the comment and look forward to hearing from you.

[@Thegoat-rg7kp]

Is it easier to throw from ur knees from here or get up and throw or not do the one leg wit runners on

[@catchthisSK]

Yep. Shawn is never on one knee when runners are on base. Thank you for your comment. Check out the rest of the videos on the channel and let me know what you think on the other videos.

[@gregalmond6562]

A couple of observations. The catcher’s receiving range is limited due to left knee up. A pitch inside to a righty would be a challenge and possibly get handcuffed. The catcher’s glove tends to come up when blocking. The glove must be at the ground level through the blocking process. The catcher has very nice footwork and looks balanced. Lastly, “received” is misspelled in your title secondary breaking ball.

[@catchthisSK]

Thank you for your comment. Are you a catching coach? Yeah, I know the "received" is spelled wrong but I didn't want to upload it again for one wrong word. I have different comments about the one knee stance and its totally up to the catcher. If he feels comfortable and able to block with each knee its up to him and his coach. Every catcher is different. Coach Lebo is teaching Shawn all that he knows for Shawn to be a complete catcher. Check out the rest of the videos on the channel and let me know what you think in the comments. Thanks again for your comment.

[@gregalmond6562]

I’m not a coach. However I did play D1 and 6 years in the Cardinal Minor League system as a catcher. I’m intrigued how catching is evolving. I do like the drills shown in this video. Just a few small adjustments and he’s on his way.

[@catchthisSK]

That is awesome. Where did you play D1? Shawn is now in 10th grade and Shawn has been to a couple college showcases down in FL. He's a straight A student and we are going through the process of college showcases. He is busy now with playing high school ball and doing well but he will be doing more showcases this summer. Any advise let us know.

[@gregalmond6562]

I played at NC State. Same years as Jason Varitek and Nomar Garciaparra, among other great ACC players.

[@oneboru]

Wrong leg is down, should be glove side or switch for right or left batter.

[@catchthisSK]

Thank you for your comment. I will make sure to tell Shawn. Check out the rest of the videos on the channel and let me know what you think on them in the comments. Thanks again.

[@damienbell3155]

What also helps is 500 push ups every other day. I know that’s what I did back in 88-91 ..... I remember every person I threw out less than 40

[@catchthisSK]

Thank you for your comment. Check out the rest of the videos on the channel.

[@domreaper5936]

@@catchthisSK hey great videos. I wasn’t trying to sound like a know it all. I appreciate the great videos you put out. Wish they had back in the 80’s lol. Catcher has quick pop up and I see the new 1 leg positioning and catching down upwards.

[@Shreadington]

I've seen that catchers using this will switch to left knee down for right handed batters to work up on the ball easier and to take the knee strike reference away from the umpire over their left shoulder. They'll go right knee down for left handed batters. What's your thoughts on that setup?

[@catchthisSK]

Yes, Shawn does the same thing with the different batters. Thats why Coach Lebo makes sure Shawn is able to use both knees down and be able to catch and block on both sides. I hope that helps.

[@Shreadington]

@@catchthisSK just found your channel. watched the other videos and saw that after I commented here. I've got a few newer youth catchers that have issues staying low on a pitched ball so this knee down setup seems like it might help. Going to try at practice tonight. Thanks for the good videos. A lot of points in there on adjustments we're making with them right now.

[@catchthisSK]

@@Shreadington Great. That’s fantastic. Let me know how it goes tonight and if you need anything else let us know and we will be glad to help out.

[@Shreadington]

@@catchthisSK fantastic! I'll share my feedback. I wish I had this setup 30 years ago when I was catcher lol. I have good hip flexibility so I was able to get low enough. The knee down setup would've been great to use during those youth years.

[@catchthisSK]

@@Shreadington Sounds great looking forward to your feedback!!

[@bco2rgr]

Open the up left leg and you won't have to worry about that knee being in the way.

[@catchthisSK]

Thank you for you comment. Have a great day.

[@nolanstevens4637]

I am a righty and I put my left leg down is that bad? And how do you increase your pop up time

[@nolanstevens4637]

@Ryan Lee thank you. Do you have any tips on how to throw down better

[@catchthisSK]

Remember to always have your shoulders in line with your target. And also watch your feet placement when throwing down to any of the bases. Look at some of the other videos on the channel. Shawn does some of these drills. Let me know if you need anything else. I hope this helps you out.

[@nolanstevens4637]

@@catchthisSK thanks

[@catchthisSK]

Would have to agree with Ryan on this one. Never have one knee down with runners are on base. Honestly for increasing your pop time its all about muscle memory and core strength/plus quad strength and well it keeps going, from how you take the ball out of your glove to never letting your elbows drop and then there is the throw itself. Your footwork is also very important as well. Check out some of the other videos on the channel and let me know what you think in the comments. Sorry we didn't get back with you sooner. Been very busy with college showcases lately. Talk to you soon.

[@catchthisSK]

[@justinpitman5685]

I wish they would stop teaching the one knee down. The pros don't outweigh the cons.

[@catchthisSK]

Thanks for you comment. Make sure to comment on the rest of the videos on the channel.

[@dejohnson2277]

Our catcher does this in varsity 6A Texas baseball. Hands down the worst catcher in the district. It’s going to be a no for me. Quit trying to reinvent the wheel.

[@catchthisSK]

Sorry for your dislike on the video. Thanks for your comment. Every catcher is different and just making sure Shawn has all he needs in his bag for any team. Again this channel is for any catcher out there, you don't have to use these drills. Trying to help out people who don't have a catching coach.

[@dejohnson2277]

@@catchthisSK I understand, But the best catchers are quiet behind the plate allowing the pitcher to paint like Picasso. Both my sons played catcher. Go old fashioned up downs and knowing how to slide and block left and right and frame. Strong legs and knowing how to receive the ball to make a proper throw down. Or pitch out since all teams usually run on the second pitch. Giving the pitcher a target is all that is needed.

[@catchthisSK]

@@dejohnson2277 Shawn is working his tail off and doing really well. He’s training all the time. Check out the rest of the videos on the channel and let me know what you think of them. Haven’t posted in awhile, he’s been busy with high school ball 5 days a week and haven’t hit the facility in awhile.
