Catcher Framing & Receiving Stick Drill: Turn Borderline Pitches Into Strikes
Train a quiet glove and a clean post-catch "stick" so borderline pitches read as strikes. A controlled receiving drill that builds the steady, present-through-the-ball habit umpires reward.
⏱ ~15 min📋 8-10 reps per location across five spots (middle, glove-side, arm-side, low, up)
What you'll need
- Catcher's mitt
- Full catcher's gear (mask, chest protector, shin guards)
- Baseballs or softballs
- Home plate or flat marker
- Phone + tripod (optional, for film review)
