I'm a coach on our 8u boys baseball and 10u girls softball. The discussion has come up on how the catchers feet should be. On top of the toes or flat footed? To me I think you have better mobility being flat footed, I could be completely wrong...just not sure. Or are we over thinking this? What say yall?
Thanks
All MLB catchers are flat footed, if that means anything. My friend, who caught in MLB, told me that they are taught to keep the heels down.
Just watch an MLB game on TV. You won't see any up on their toes, except maybe a few who are while giving the sign, but then they get flat footed.
