Private Catching Development
Developing complete catchers.
Thanks for visiting RD Catching. Our training sessions are personalized for each player to focus on their development goals and needs.
What We Train
Position-specific training focused on the skills catchers need to succeed on game day.
Receiving
Framing and glove work to control the zone and build pitcher confidence.
Blocking
Reliable blocking techniques, body control, and the ability to prevent runners from advancing.
Throwing
Efficient footwork, clean transfers, and consistent throwing mechanics.
Fielding
Bunts, pop-ups, and everything else that puts a catcher in motion.
Our Approach
Teaching the “why,” not just the skill.
As coaches, it's important to extend our teaching beyond the skills and convey the reasoning behind our methods. Young players need to understand what we're trying to teach them. Guiding young players and helping them understand the “why” behind our methods provides clarity and makes them feel valued, which is critical to development.
