What about the way our catchers give the target, then they drop their mitt to the ground, and then bring it back up fast to catch the ball?
What is the purpose of doing that?




Supposedly to frame low pitches better. I'm not sure if anyone has studied the effectiveness of it but the theory makes sense


Top tier NCAA-MLB pitchers don't need to see a target as they throw. Once a pitch is called, they know where their spot is.


Neal having his throwing hand vulnerable all the time was a way bigger problem than knee down.
