re: Travinski Problems

No man. That doesn’t seem to be the case. I see a lot of catches using this technique now in college. I don’t see it in the MLB. He is a big boy but in that position you can’t react to pitches in the dirt. Pitchers have to be able to trust their catcher to block and slide. His laziness causes strikes to be called balls. It’s just not a great of look for him or the coaching staff. Throw in a SS who consistently boots balls and can’t throw to first and you are talking about 2 of 3 most important defensive positions on the field. Can not win consistently playing good teams this way.
