MITT MAGIC

Mitt Magic: Receiving Fundamentals is a complete training program designed to sharpen the most important skill a catcher can master—receiving. The way a catcher receives the ball has more influence on an at-bat, inning, or even an entire game than any other skill, and this program gives you the tools to maximize every pitch.

Broken into four key components—stances & set ups, fundamentals, strength training, and drills—this course provides a step-by-step system to help catchers “keep strikes, strikes” and earn more called strikes for their pitchers. You’ll learn the “Big 3” of receiving, master proper stances like the traditional and one-knee setups, and develop elite pocket awareness and soft hands. A full strength and stability section builds hand, wrist, shoulder, and core strength through targeted exercises like rice bucket work, band circuits, and weighted ball drills.

The program also features a wide range of receiving drills—from tennis ball quick pitch and multi-ball receiving to wall ball reaction and live pitch progressions—each designed to improve precision, pocket control, and consistency. To take it a step further, you’ll train hand-eye coordination and vision with reaction drills, random drop catches, and pivot-based receiving challenges that prepare you for game speed.

Whether you’re a coach looking to develop better receivers or a player committed to becoming the pitcher’s best friend, this program delivers everything you need to turn your mitt into magic.
