Does Your Ball Player Struggle Catching A Thrown Baseball?

The game of baseball boils down to mastering what we call the "5undamental 5ive" here at 5ive Tool Baseball:

• Hitting
• Throwing
• Fielding
• Base-Running
• Catching

Of the five, catching is usually the skill set that takes the most work due to the fear of getting hit with the baseball. A number of things can attribute to this including, glove size, glove quality, hand strength and hand-eye coordination among other things that we will cover in future articles and videos. Ultimately, ball players who are learning how to or struggling to catch are ball are generally afraid of getting hit.

During the drill, we use multi-colored wiffle balls to develop hand-eye coordination in a safe, fun and small environment.
