She won't watch baseball players, I have tried we have two of the best in Molina and Salvador Perez. Thanks for the name Eric.

Aubree Munro does it all wrong. She is known to take the mask off during a play. :)

Not always...

I have said before, I don't have a big issue with older catchers who prefer to take their mask off for high pop-up foul balls. However, it's not the way I choose to teach my DD and the other catchers I work with.

As for Aubree Munro, I consider her one of the best defensive catchers in the fastpitch game in recent history.

That's a shame. In college softball you have some great athletes in the catcher's position but not what I would call great receivers. In the MLB you have a few great receivers.........

The only top quality SB I usually get to see is limited to the WCWS and the catching mechanics displayed generally are unimpressive. Too many lost strikes and preventable WPs and PBs to count! Same holds true for many MLBers too, including Molina who can't block now because his freakish agility has declined over time and exposed his poor mechanics. Posey is a good recommendation IMO.


FWIW, NECC just trains catchers, some play BB and some play SB.
