King of the Bag: The Head-to-Head Pop-Time Duel
A small-sided, bracket-style competition where catchers face off in side-by-side lanes, racing the stopwatch to second base while only in-zone throws count — turning pop-time reps into pressure reps that hold up in a game.
⏱ ~20 min📋 Best-of-5 duels in a bracket; each catcher gets 3-5 duels (about 15-25 competitive throw-downs total), with rest and one review between duels
What you'll need
- Catcher's gear (mask, mitt, chest protector)
- Baseballs or softballs (regulation)
- Throw-down base + tag-zone target (net/tarp or cones and partner glove)
- Stopwatch or pop-time app
- L-screen or coach feeder
