Annnnd ANOTHER ONE!
I’m heading back to Salt Lake City, UT in November!
If you’re in the Salt Lake area and want to get some off season work in, grab a spot now. This one always fills up!
Put “SLC” in the comments and I’ll get you what you need.
If you attempt to steal 3rd with a lefty up you better have an amazing jump and be safe by a mile… Especially with 2 outs.
I agree with the broadcast team that it was a terrible idea (listen until the end)! 🤦♂️🤣
Watch how quickly Mack gets his right foot in the ground. Quick shuffle step and get the ball on its way. He gone! 💪🔥

I had so many people tell me that they couldn’t make my Sacramento camp in September that I decided to reschedule.
NEW DATES: December 5th & 6th, 2026
If you were wanting to sign up but couldn’t due to schedule conflicts, check your calendar to see if these new dates work.
If they do, put “SAC” in the comments and I’ll get you what you need.
I know a bunch of people are going to say “bad umpiring” but is a magician with his mitt!
To get pitches 4-5 inches out of the zone called strikes, you gotta be doing something right.
The patience, the quickness, the consistency… This is why he’s leading MLB in receiving runs.
Did you know I have a virtual receiving fundamentals training program called “Mitt Magic?” Put “Magic” in the comments and I’ll get you what you need!
Two things about this throw by Henry Davis, MLB leader in throw out percentage at 40%.
One, this is an example of ZERO tag time. On. The. Bag! 💪
And two, a .60 release time on this pitch location is impressive! When the mitt arm gets fully extended during the reception it typically leads to exchange issues and slows the release process down. Davis wasn’t affected at all.

Just booked another winter camp and my first 2027 camp…
I’ll be in Arlington, TX on January 9th & 10th!
We always have a good time in Texas and I’m excited to get back down there.
Put “Lone Star State” in the comments and I’ll get you what you need!
I had a young catcher I do lessons with ask what he should do when his pitcher spikes a pitch that’s not even close. He said he can never get his body behind the ball.
That’s actually a common misunderstanding. Most of the time with extreme misfires, elite catchers will use their mitt, not their body to stop the ball.
Cal Raleigh shows us how it’s done!
to this gem of a throw by Hall of Famer Joe Mauer.
I show and discuss this throw at every camp for two reasons…
One, it’s a textbook example of a “replace step” (right to left & left to target). And two, he’s got amazing tempo during this throw and doesn’t rush. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. He gone!
You want to average a .56 release like Tyler Heineman?
You need to be fluid like water and not have any pause or hesitation anywhere in your throwing motion. Notice how quick his right foot is in the ground and how quick the ball gets out of his mitt…
It’s a beauty thing!
We discuss this in detail at every camp! My next camp is in Sacramento, CA on September 26th & 27th. Put “SacTown” in the comments and I’ll get you what you need. I’m only allowing 3 more catchers so grab your spot now.

I just booked another camp! This will be my first ever winter camp in the Pacific Northwest! I’ve come up several times in the summer but this will be the first off-season event.
If you’re going to be around the weekend after Thanksgiving and want to get you or your catcher some work in grab a spot now!
Put “PNW” in the comments and I’ll get you what you need!
November 28-29, 2026 at the Field of Champions training center in Issaquah!
