I was a catcher in my youth, I made a few all star teams so I must have been ok at it. We just received Catching Coaches DVD for my 10 yo daughter, I wish that was available 20 years ago, a good purchase for a young or struggling catcher. Anyway, his explanation on throwing hand placement for runners on (make a fist with the thumb tucked and place it behind the glove) makes sense to me. I have found some contradictory information on the internet that believes the hand should placed behind the back like I always used to do. We are going to follow Catching Coaches advice, because it makes sense and has good practical application. But I would like to here from others on why they think behind the back is better.
