About this store

Welcome to Brent Mayne's Art of Catching video store. Catching is one of the most important defensive positions on the field, yet little, if any instruction on the subject has ever been available - until now. In The Art of Catching video series, I More distill fifteen years of Major League experience (I'm ranked 4th in the history of baseball for career fielding percentage and 75th for games caught) to provide cutting-edge overviews of all the crucial technical aspects of the position. Appropriate for players of all levels, from Little League to the major leagues. Whether you're a coach, player, or curious fan, these videos are guaranteed to enhance your baseball experience. Feel free to preview and buy access to an assortment of videos that I've put together to teach you the ins and outs of The Art of Catching. Have fun, play hard, and keep your eye on the ball.Less

Description

In lesson 3 of the Art of Catching series, ex Major Leaguer Brent Mayne demonstrates how a catcher's lower body should move to receive a pitched ball correctly and safely.

The information in this clip is a fundamental building block to proper receiving mechanics, but also a vital component to improving a catcher's range and blocking technique.

Great alone, but even better if viewed after watching the "Athletic Foundation" and "Stances" videos. Appropriate for baseball/softball catchers and coaches of all levels, from Little League to the Big Leagues. Enjoy.
