HDUSA Catching Program

Requirements of Great Catchers

Catchers are recruited for their ability to frame, block, and throw. When a college coach calls me looking for a catcher he seldom asks about his hitting first. He asks me “can he come in right away and frame, block, and throw well enough to stop the running game?”

Focus on at least one of the big three skills every day and then work on a couple of the other catching skills after.  Make your catching skills measurable and keep you Goal Book up every day.

You alone are responsible for your development!

Our infield program may be our most intense and all-inclusive program in the country.  Great infielders are a result of their daily process / work.

At the Hit Doctor® USA we make infield play measureable.  Our players know how they stand on a daily basis and there is no way to compromise the numbers.  You can either play or you can’t.  Whats more, our players can play every infield position (1B, 2B, 3B, or SS).
