    Catchers setting up the pitch...glove position

    I have noticed in our HS ball and Travel ball the past couple of years, catchers who appear to me not to set up well prior to the pitch. What i mean by this is basically having there glove in the same vertical position (and not good horizontal position) Ie: giving the pitcher a proper target...
