I didn't forget about the guy behind the dish! So many times we forget about arguably the most important position player on the field, the catcher.
The guy who takes control of the game and leads by example. In this episode, we bring on Xan Barksdale, the founder of catching-101.com. Xan is a former division 1 college baseball coach at Lousiville and East Tennessee State.
After coaching college baseball for nine years he decided that in order to help more players he needed to take advantage of the internet and spread his wisdom though books DVD, Camps, and speaking engagements.
He hosts a catching conference every year called Catcher Con in Nashville Tennessee. We go over technology and how it has helped evaluate catchers, pitch framing, blocking, drills, and the importance of the bullpen.
