This Handbook contains our thoughts on the current state of receiving the baseball and is written from the perspective of a current professional catcher. With so much change at the catching position in recent years, we want to provide a framework for what we feel makes for a successful (and valuable) receiver in today's game. This Handbook is not a list of drills to use while training (however, it does include all of our catching drills). Instead, this Handbook covers:
Modern receiving philosophy (i.e. what "modern" receiving is)
Traditional and one-knee stances
Using both types of stances for receiving success
Targeting and
Glove mechanics
We also discuss other things we feel are pertinent to receiving the ball, including sign giving, game calling, and receiving focused training environments. The bulk of our Catcher's Receiving Handbook focuses on setups, targeting, and glove mechanics. Whether you are a player, coach, or parent you should find this eBook to be a valuable resource with over 100 pages of actionable content. Handbook will be downloadable immediately upon purchase.

Great product
Feels like a real ball, not a plastic toy. Instant feedback of spin efficiency for multiple pitches.
I began using this with my catchers a few weeks back. It is a great tool for teaching the catcher to work to the ball with "strong hands." The catcher is assisted by this tool from the beginning of receiving all the way up until the ball is received. One can mix inno-glove drills along with drills using a catcher's mitt. The CRT belt is easy to use and is quite easy to include with the catcher's other tools and equipment. It will fit into the catcher's equipment bag without taking up much room at all. It's a tool that is used at the MLB, NCAA and HS level.
My son’s pitching coach (who pitched at the highest level) has him use a similar product to “stay on top of the ball” at release. My son likes the feel of this product better since it replicates a real ball with seams etc. instead of the hard plastic like at his practice sessions.
These are great. We have both the yellow and red for softball drills. We toss up both and have a coach call out the color ball to hit. Being much smaller than softballs forces the girls to stay focused. Great product!!
Great tool for you and older catchers alike. Shoutout Anson Aroz U of Oregon catcher for showing me. I coach at the jr college level and bought 3, two for the guys out there and one for my personal lessons. Great product
