At the young ages I would encourage her to block everything in the dirt with runners on. As she gets older you can teach her when to pick balls and even to block, but if you try to teach her the difference now I feel like she will try to pick mostly. At the young ages pitchers aren’t as good and bald tend to go everywhere. As pitchers get older and better, the balls tend to go more where you expect them. I would rather have a young catcher who blocks and I can train to pick when needed then the other way around.

Thank you!
