The Real Deal: Machine Receiving

Yesterday I showed footage of JT Realmuto's pre-game routine. In part one, we saw Realmuto using plyo balls and wrist weights using his bare hand and a small glove. In part two, Realmuto grabs his regular glove and jumps on the machine.

We are fortunate enough to have a machine to use in our daily drills but if you don't have one of your own, you can have the catcher receive throws using wrist weights or you can even shorten the distance between throws giving the catcher less reaction time.
