Late-Reveal Framing Reaction Drill: Read Late, React Fast, Stick the Strike
A reaction-based receiving drill where the pitch location is hidden until the last instant, forcing the catcher to read it late, snap the glove to the spot, and stick a still strike picture before a short buzzer - while deciding whether each borderline pitch is worth stealing or an obvious ball to let go.
⏱ ~20 min📋 4-6 sets of 10-15 reveal-and-react reps, then one fully random block
What you'll need
- Catcher's mitt
- Full catcher's gear (mask, chest protector, shin guards)
- Baseballs or softballs (two colors, optional)
- Home plate or flat marker
- Metronome, buzzer, or timer app
- Pitching machine (optional)
- Phone + tripod (optional, for film grade)
