DVD Overview:

---This excellent three-part DVD
highlights receiving, blocking and
throwing techniques for catchers.

---Mercadante begins with stretching
and flexibility - two big parts of
developing good catchers.

---Drills for stretching hip flexors are
catching specific that completely prepare
catchers.

---Mercadante then presents his receiving
philosophy for catchers.

---In receiving Mercadante covers the
elements of a good foundation, balance
and target.

---Drills for receiving, including the bare
hand drill, ball-in-hand drill, quarter
turn and side-to-side drills, are illustrated.

---To develop good blocking fundamentals,
Mercadante discusses blocking the 5 hole
and throwing the hip to block.

---To develop these fundamentals he shows
the side-to side drill and the five-ball
drill.

---The third element is throwing.

---When the ball is caught, players are
taught to work it back to his left shoulder,
which aids their footwork.

---Mercadante dissects the jab step - the
first movement forward after the catch.

---Exploding out of the blocks and keeping
the weight over the feet are other keys
he covers.

---The fundamentals, skills and drills
presented in this DVD lay the foundation
for successful catchers.
