Catchers are wired different. You live in the grind. Squatting in the dirt. Eating foul tips. Owning the pace of the game. When it gets loud and fast, there is no room for hesitation. You do not guess. You trust what you have built.
The MaxBP machine lets catchers stack real reps at real speed. No shortcuts. No excuses. Just work. These five drills are built to sharpen your edge behind the plate and harden your confidence when the game is on the line.
1. Quiet Glove Receiving with MaxBP
Power behind the plate starts with calm.
Set the MaxBP to a light or moderate velocity and settle into your stance. Let the ball travel. Catch it out front. Stick it clean. No stabbing. No extra movement. Own the pitch.
This drill teaches you to stay quiet when the ball is loud.
The more speed you see, the more controlled you become.
2. One Knee Blocking with MaxBP
Blocking is not pretty. It is violent and controlled. Set the MaxBP closer with a downward angle to create true dirt ball reads. Start on one knee and track the ball early. Beat it to the ground. Chest over the ball. Kill it dead in front of you.
Earn the trust of your pitcher by proving nothing gets through. Progress to your full stance once you own every bounce.
3. Rapid Fire Exchange with MaxBP
Pop time is not arm strength. It is precision under pressure. Crank the MaxBP to a quicker rhythm and let it test you. Catch it. Transfer it. Get rid of it. No wasted motion. No panic.
This drill forces your hands to move faster than your thoughts.
4. Reaction and Secondary Stance with MaxBP
The game does not warn you. Neither should your training. Start in your primary stance and let the MaxBP rip. Some you receive. Some you block. Some demand a quick replace and throw.
This is where instincts are forged. The reps teach your body to respond before your brain gets involved. Slow mind. Fast feet.
5. Footwork to Throw with MaxBP
Strong throws are built from the ground. Set the MaxBP to catcher distance with firm velocity. Receive it clean. Replace your feet with intent. Drive your throw straight through the target.
This drill builds direction, balance, and authority. Your feet create the power. Your arm delivers the message.
Built for the Moment
Catchers do not flinch. You have already seen the speed. You have already done the work. The MaxBP machine gives you the reps nobody sees so you can own the moments everybody remembers.
Train in the dirt. Stack the reps. When the game speeds up, you do not panic. You accelerate.
