It's interesting that so far this year there have been 5 pickoffs by catchers and 4/5 have been at 3B. As the announce says in one of the clips "it's a high risk, high reward" play. Typically, it makes the most sense to pick off to 3B earlier in the inning when there are 0 outs…
I absolutely LOVE seeing this! Two 1st and 3rd situations last night that catchers handled perfectly! 1. Tyler Stephenson with an arm fake to 2B and then catches the R3 in 'no man's land' for an easy out. 2. Henry Davis fires a bullet to 2B and then catches the return throw…
It looks like all of the Keyholes that were ordered will be shipping next week!
Have fun trying to catch that…
What is the craziest title/position in professional sports?
That's not really how that works...
I am a big fan of catchers consistently doing “Ozzie Smith” drills (iso the hands) with the infielders. Below is why: (this is a 12yo who is a SS with gear on) @CatchingAcademy @TheCatchingGuy @bobbywilson_88 @CoachOx18 @craigdriver81 @xanbarksdale @JWonCATCHING @KSchnall9
On this edition of "Plays You Never See"...
Just Patrick Bailey doing Patrick Bailey things!
All of these GAME SAVING blocks all have a few things in common: • 9th inning or later • Game tied or 1 run differential • Runner on 3B • Catcher in 1KD stance Should you be in a 1KD stance w/ a runner on 3rd late in the game? Maybe...maybe not. If it's not right for you,…
My next YouTube video is going to make some people unhappy... What's the title of it going to be? 🤣

Angel Hernandez is a perfect example of why unions are terrible.
I thought the announcer was going crazy about Hedges' throw from the knees... Nope. He's just excited about the tag! 🤣
UPDATE: I've spent a few hours on the phone with technical support from my credit card processor and have gotten the issues resolved. If you tried placing an order over the past 48 hours and saw an error message you should now be able to successfully complete your order here:…
How would you describe what it means to "be a great teammate?"

Langeliers have yourself a day! 3 Homeruns at the plate and a block and recover behind it.

@xanbarksdale Great technique on the 2nd play. The throw is hard but the difference is the transition. Too many young catchers try to make up time by max throwing. Keep the ball near the ear, then pivot the lower body to increase torque. It's much faster than winding up.
2 things about me: 1) Im definitely not a guy that would hold a grudge and repost this because I went nose to nose with a college coach that told me MLB teams don’t run the cut play and “we should just throw the ball to second every time” and i hope he sees this. 2) Jk

@xanbarksdale We call number 2. The “bang, bang” play. Works at every level when lead runner is itchy.
This stuff works even at the highest levels when executed properly. So fun to see!
