      I love it. Let me add what I learned from a catching coach with the Marlins. When you are under the ball, spread the legs so that the body can sway and be flexible in catching the ball. This keeps the catcher balanced.

      Makes it sound quite easy. Doesnt really mention the hardest part - which is projecting where the ball will come down.
