Catching Action Photos
August 22, 2008So I told you I was going to get some catching images for you some day. You’re probably tired of looking at statues and food. Well here are a few to wet your appetite. I hate to advertise, but to really understand these positions and my terminology you need to BUY THE BOOK. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed and your game or the people you coach will improve. Even if you don’t play or coach, you’ll become a better, more informed fan. And if that weren’t enough, it will make you better looking. Well maybe not that….it’s not that good.
This first photo is a fine example of a solid sign stance. Notice the perpendicular back, knees pointed straight at the pitcher, relaxed. The only thing I see that could be improved would be to have the glove shielding the signs from the third base coach a little better. The last two images show excellent posture again (no hunching over, “stacked body”) and great receiving technique with the glove above the elbow in a position of strength. Both of them also have their fingers towards the sky. Hope you enjoyed. Arrivederci.
