Our catchers were especially thankful because it allows them to practice and compete with equipment that fits properly and keeps them safe. During our practices, we have already been able to run more efficient drills because the gear can be quickly put on and taken off, allowing our catchers to get more repetitions working on blocking, receiving, and throwing mechanics.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, this catcher's gear will continue to be used every day as we develop our players and prepare for games throughout the season.
