Watch as Coach Johnny Cardenas explains that the Lobster Drill is a daily drill for catchers. The drill uses tennis balls to help keep the catcher's hand soft and to maintain the correct receiving hand placement. The catcher wants to have the thumb underneath the ball, keeping the ball on the fingertips and out of the palm. They want to present a good target and can set up with one knee or traditional.
