Catcher Blocking With Runners On: Game-Situation Block and Recovery Drill
Put blocking and recovery under real pressure: live runners, mixed strikes and dirt balls, and a decision on every pitch — block and throw, or receive and back-pick. Train the catcher to read the situation, not just the ball.
⏱ ~20 min📋 8-12 game-situation reps per catcher (mixed strikes and dirt balls), 2 rounds with rest
What you'll need
- Catcher's gear (mask, chest protector, shin guards, mitt)
- Baseballs (or soft/tennis balls for younger catchers)
- Bases and fielders/partners to receive throws and apply tags
