Watch as Coach Kelly Inouye-Perez explains the drill progression for introducing blocking to catchers. The drill starts with catchers fully geared up and on their knees, working on body blows. The coach throws the ball overhand, creating a hop that forces the catcher to stay down and block the ball back to the plate. Progress to the squat position and begin using regular balls.
