Catching: Tape on Left Shin Guard with Butch Chaffin – USA Baseball

Watch full video with Baseball +Plus here. • April 22, 2025 • By American Baseball Coaches Association

Watch as Coach Butch Chaffin explains why his catchers have yellow tape on the left knee of their shin guard. On all infield in-plays the catcher will point to the left knee to remind the fielder of their target. The yellow tape serves as an aiming point for the infielder and this allows the catcher to receive the ball and put the tag to the plate.

Butch Chaffin was previously coaching at Cookeville High School (TN).
