Barrels & Backstops Catcher Field Guide and Workbook

Catching is more than receiving pitches. You lead the field, prepare the pitcher, control the running game, and stay ready for the next play.

I built this 27-page guide from the catching notes and training principles I’ve used as a player and coach. It covers receiving, blocking, transfers, throwing, bullpen work, pitch calling, umpire communication, and game preparation.

Inside you’ll get:

• Catching cues and drill menus you can take straight to practice
• Three measured practice progressions
• Six printable workbook pages for bullpen notes, hitter plans, game review, and goals
• A four-week development plan

For youth and high school catchers, families, and coaches who want to understand the job behind the plate and train with a purpose.

Format: Instant-download PDF. Print the workbook pages or use the guide on your phone or tablet.
