Well done Brent. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will put these simple aspects to work over the next couple weeks with my young catcher.
Outstanding Video

This is an outstanding throwing video for all who wants to be a catcher or who is teaching catching. Brent was a great receiver and throwning catcher. He breaks this video down to the simplest form of throwing so there is no unnessary movements.
