Yeah, it’s a really good drill. Fast reaction time.

Biggest thing I see with him that he should work on the most is his hip mobility and keeping his glove on the ground instead of trying to glove every ball if he can fix those two things kids gonna be an absolute stud

Thank you for your comment. Your comment above is why I started this channel. I finally found a fantastic catching coach, which they are very hard to find. I started filming and learning as i go with video editing. We have been doing this for awhile now and its still fun. I'm hoping to help dads/coaches and everyone out there on the web. Shawn is working his butt of and is now visiting colleges and coaches. He is a senior now and its getting crazy. He made the Big 26 for PA all state and did amazing. Check out the latest video on the channel. Sorry we haven't posted anything lately but we have been traveling to colleges and he just started back to school. I'm hoping to post another video very soon with the footage of the colleges. Thanks again and if you need anything else just hit us up on the comments.

Shawn is doing great all he needs to do is to make sure his glove is hitting the ground when he blocks you don’t want a ball to sneak under there

I got pretty good at catcher in one offseason, but I just couldn't master blocking the ball. Hated it so much. So I respect the heck out of anyone that does it. Catcher is a really fun position, especially if you have pickoff signs with your pitchers and infielders and if you know how to switch signs up to fool baserunners into stealing. Nothing better than that moment when you know you're getting a fastball outside but the runner who just left thinks it's going to be a curve

I’m a young catcher (13 at the moment) and I was wondering if you have any tips on how to more accurately throw down to second. I already have a pretty good pop time (a little less then two seconds) so if you have any tips on accuracy it’d be a great help

Not to be argumentative or anything but as a current catcher of many years in my own opinion it would be better if he left his helmet on when doing the “Blocking and Recovery” drills. Also his chest protector, again in my own opinion, should be almost skin tight. Makes balls in the dirt more likely to land in front of you rather than bounce away. Great work by him though really.

As a catcher getting rid of the mask takes time away from me getting to the ball

@catchthisSK

It should only take seconds to get the helmet off and you are able to see much better with it off than on. Of course its a catchers preference but Coach Lebo is training Shawn to pop it off and be able to see much better. Thanks for your comment and talk to you soon.

Why take time to get rid mask...ya catch all types if pitches with it on...what advantage over rides the time it takes?? IMO the only time is "high" pop ups...plays at plate is better with it on!!

I used 2 piece "cap and mask" and it deff had to be pulled off eveb for plays at plate cause to much body movement would cause it to come off itself making it in ya way! Communication maybe a reason to take it off for bunt but if bunt is in the "circle" i getting it myself without worrying about taking the mask off..lol. I have missed ya vids and not sure why they not popped up for me...deff going back here soon to catch up cause i do like ya kids trainer and the drills he teaches ya son! ALSO seeing the love ya som has for behind the plate makes the vids even better! We just started around (high school for my senior catcher) but middle school still may not have team all because kids grades with the online schooling all year...my 13yearold included! They dont relize 8 of 10 that doing bad would do better if they are outdoor type and let back to doing what they love!

Juat asked the same..."seeing" a bunt better yet the rest if game ya catch 90mph 2 seems and curves that move! Think with new hockey style mask it has become coaches preference! My oldest actually changed his coaches mind after being fussed at for not taking it off for a pop up...my opinion is if its high enough and have time then do so but for bunts and plays at plate then leave it on!

It is good practice to get the mask off and to be able to see the ball on the ground. You always want to throw the mask off and out of the way. He is practicing good technique in removing the mask and eye contact with the ball in a game situation. Hope this helps you out. Let me know if you have any more questions. Always glad to help out.

It really is just a couple of seconds to take the mask off. You can move quicker and see around you with your mask off. Like anything else practice practice practice. After that its muscle memory and your just react. Hope this help out.
