Catcher Blocking Drill

DRILL BENEFITS

This catcher drill is designed with three phases of instruction to focus on block, rapidfire and reaction/recovery. Catchers need quickness when blocking balls, and this drill builds that quickness efficiently.

Catcher: Blocking Drill

EXECUTION

  • Position M3X at the pitcher’s mound (Catcher: Blocking Drill) and catcher, in full gear, behind home plate (C).
  • Initiate drill by raising hand to put ball into the machine.
  • Position the M2 to shoot balls into the dirt within the vicinity of home plate, varying the velocity and location to simulate game-like blocking situations for catcher.
  • DISCLAIMER: ATEC drills are designed to develop player skills in various areas of the game. Results will differ for each player. Players should use appropriate protective equipment during drills to protect against potential bodily injury.
