A tribute to our baseball catchers…

Catching…the toughest position in baseball with little acclaim…

To be a good catcher, a great deal of knowledge and skill are required. A young player must work on mastering basic catching fundamentals to become a complete catcher.

As the catcher, you are the field general. You must be loud and direct. You always need to know the situation and direct others to act appropriately. You anchor the team from behind the plate. You must be the leader.

Catching is by far the most difficult and challenging position to play. Moreover, a catcher must realize that this position requires more than just physical skills. It also requires a catcher, to have leadership skills because they are an extension of the coach on the diamond. A wise person once said, "If it were easy everyone would do it." Well catching is certainly not something everyone can do.
