Catcher

The Field General Behind the Plate

The catcher is the only player who faces the entire field — and the only one involved in every single pitch. This complete position course builds the catcher from the ground up: the stances, receiving and framing, blocking balls in the dirt, the pop-time footwork to throw out runners, fielding bunts and pop-ups, plays at the plate, the backups and coverages for every situation, calling a game, and building the durable lower body the job demands. From Little League to Mike Piazza — the Dodgers' Hall of Famer and the greatest-hitting catcher in history — you will learn to run the defense, protect the plate, and become the leader every pitching staff trusts.
