Overview:

Catching Fundamentals and Techniques 
focuses on the fundamental techniques 
and strategies that a catcher must 
learn to play the most demanding position 
on the baseball diamond. This book sheds 
some much-needed light on the topic, 
including the following: selecting 
and using the proper catching equipment, 
selecting players for the catcher 
position, developing the fundamental
