You Can Thank Me Later : )

Nothing earth shattering in today’s post...Just solid coaching for catchers. 

I realize that writing to such a small niche in the baseball community about an obscure detail severely limits my audience.
Just remember, I’m doing this for your own good. One day you may be delegated to coaching catchers or have a kid that wants to learn how to catch then this post will come in very handy. 
You can thank me later : ) 
Check out this short video demonstrating the Key Reference Points to the Signal Stance.



Reference Points
  1. Balls of the feet
  2. Feet narrow
  3. Knees in
  4. Sign back towards groin
  5. Glove to the side of shin
  6. Chest and upper torso tall
Next time you are at a game notice the little things that good catchers do to separate themselves from other catchers. You will probably find that they are “clean” when it comes to giving the pitcher signs in a well executed signal stance.
Your comments are always welcome.
Thanks!
Brandon
