Thank you for joining "Mitt Magic," my online catchers training program focusing on the skill of receiving.  This program will provide you with several tips on technique as well as some of my favorite drills and exercises to help you or your catcher keep strikes, strikes and get as many "stri-balls" called strikes as possible.

Receiving is the most important thing we do as catchers.  Our receiving will have more of an impact on an at-bat, inning and game more than anything else we do and it's not even close. 

The Program is broken down into four sections:

  1. The Stance/Set Up Component: The stance the catcher utilizes will have a huge impact on their receiving success.
  2. The Fundamentals Component:  Movements made before, during and after the reception of the ball.
  3. The Strength Component: The strength of the catcher can have a huge impact on their receiving success.
  4. The Drills Component: Drills that can be utilized to help improve receiving success.

Let's get to work!
