Make it known here on DFP i teach catchers to field dirt pitches.
Sometimes it happens that catchers who are trained to field dirt pitches will have a coach tell them they need to block everything
(AKA take the dirt pitch off the body.)
Over the years became noticeable the
Do it my way coaches
vs.
Open minded Coaches
Which brings this post
I want to THANK the Coaches who choose to look for players success in their mechanics...
Rather than just force players to do one thing.
it can be an awkward situation if /when a coach will tell a player who has been training with an specific set of mechanics they have to change.
So I'm acknowledging this wonderful story of a coach and catcher who were both
'given the opportunity to grow'
Simply because of an open minded coach.
Player went to tryouts. Made the team. Coach saw dirt pitch glove work. Asked player/family about it.
Player said i go to lessons and train this way.
Instructor calls it
'Field & Fire.'
The coach wonderfully
was ok letting the player student catcher do what she has been training to do befor comming to the team!
Field dirt pitches.
Over the weeks, starting with a few innings in games, the catcher earned a starting position behind the plate.
The catcher given the opportunity applied her self.
The Coach applied looking for success...
