It's important for youth baseball players to learn good technique when catching fly balls. This video breaks down the proper way to make an above-the-chin catch, putting the player in the right position to make a play after the catch.

short and to the point. i like it
good!
Well, this is just one aspect of the catch. The other part is tracking the ball and getting under it, which is always the goal. You're right, not very many times will it be hit to you perfectly, but lots of times you can position yourself perfectly.
How many times out of 10 are you going to get a ball in the perfect spot where you can catch it right at your chin? Yeah, not very many. You cant say, " Oh, the ball is going right here so I can catch it right at my chin"! Thats not how it works. Sorry...
GREAT!!!
Very good drill for the little kids to follow. A good way for them to understand on how to catch the pop fly.
Good video, even at the older age players have a hard time with the basics
cool
Great technique. I have been using it with my 5 year old but with the SafeToss Ball (www.SafeToss.com) just incase he would miss ;). Just last week he made his first pop-fly catch as he played first base!!! Thank you WePlay and Thank you www.SafeToss.com
