-------------------- 
DVD Overview:
-------------------- 
--Matt Walbeck's 11-year career in the 
major leagues is on display on this DVD 
on the basics of catching. 
--Coach Walbeck begins by discussing the 
proper stance for catchers. 
--Good stance eliminates reaching and being 
off balance. 
--Walbeck stresses the importance of setting 
up in the middle and challenging the hitter 
to make contact. 
--Skills are taught for throwing back to the 
pitcher and throwing to second base. 
--Emphasis is placed on the proper footwork, 
which is the key to these throws. 
--Handling pitchouts are a skill analyzed for 
both right handed and left handed hitters. 
--To deal with runners on the base, key elements 
are pointed out that will lead to skill development. 
--Other teaching includes fielding bunts to the 
third base line, first base and straight on. 
--Walbeck includes the rapid fire drill, which 
works footwork, positioning, getting the ball 
quickly out of the glove and throwing. 
--Additional drills are technique drill, soft 
hands drill, blocking the ball and blocking 
home plate. 
--Catching pop-ups is covered with the traditional 
and hockey mask technique. 
--Backing up first base is another key skill 
covered by Walbeck. Fundamentals are important 
in catching as in any athletic pursuit, and 
consistency in catching will aid the pitcher 
and the umpire.
