Here is an article that I copied years ago that I think is still relevant: Batter's should also be thinking along these lines so they are thinking about pitches the same way the pitcher is thinking.

Throwing Mechanics: Why so poor after playing for years?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Chad moeller Jan 23. 11 Replies 1 Like
I have spent my life on the ball field and the more I work with younger players the more I realize that basic fundamentals are not being taught or at least the right way. I'm not talking about an 8…Continue

Chad moeller's blog post was featured"Just see the Ball and Hit
“Just see the Ball and Hit the Ball”?Some one long ago made the statement and it has continued to this day “ just see the ball and hit the ball.” If you have played this game long enough you have heard this phrase uttered to many times to count. There are times when it is that easy, and other times when it is not so simple. You all know what I mean. The game of baseball, from the hitter’s perspective is based on failure. So the question becomes how do we deal with this failure at the…See More
Tommy Trainer commented on Chad moeller's blog post "Just see the Ball and Hit"Hi Chad,
“Just see the Ball” sounds easy, but it’s not. Catchers have an advantage because they get to see many more pitches than position players. The objective is to make a habit of studying the seams so you can…"
Jay Wilson commented on Chad moeller's blog post "Just see the Ball and Hit"Batters create muscle memory and hone their swings at practice and in the cage. To reduce presure and to clear the batters mind before they go to the plate it is not a bad idea to tell them to "See the Ball and Hit the Ball'. …"
sportsmaven1965 commented on Chad moeller's blog post "Just see the Ball and Hit"My reply about Williams meant to convey comparing a hitter to Williams. Emulating his swing is fine but a player should be realistic when looking at their own results. Williams was also a driven player and the consummate "guess hitter" who…"
Richard Lovell commented on Chad moeller's blog post "Just see the Ball and Hit"So, what one is saying is that a batter should never guess at what he thinks a pitcher is going to throw and that statistical information from "algorithms" shouldn't be used to better your chances and another thinks that you…"
Chad moeller commented on Chad moeller's blog post "Just see the Ball and Hit"Ted would a great hitter to model a swing after. I wish I could have had that swing. Sometime though the best hitters are not the best coaches. The game was simply to easy for them. I can't speak for Ted never had him as…"
Ted Browne commented on Chad moeller's blog post "Just see the Ball and Hit"@sportsmaven...Not sure what you are getting at here...would you rather pattern your swing after a mediocre hitter? :)"
sportsmaven1965 commented on Chad moeller's blog post "Just see the Ball and Hit"@ John D'Aquisto You forgot to mention that Ted had 20/10 vision and was the best hitter ever. I do not want to use such a superior talent as an example."
Michael Ragan commented on Chad moeller's blog post "Just see the Ball and Hit"A couple things come to mind.
First, the objective should be to hit the ball well not just hit the ball. In most cases this means hitting the ball hard.
Second, the objective is hit the ball hard not to get a hit. A whole lot could be said about the…"
Elaine Sestito commented on Chad moeller's blog post "Just see the Ball and Hit"You make a good point. I have battled with people who try to over-coach while in the game....trying to coach mechanics, or "don't swing at that", then "You have to go for those", on and on. My son finds all of that very…"

Continue What is The Best Position on the Field?

What is the best position on the baseball field? I will give you a hint. He is the only player that sees the entire field. Some say he has the best seat in the stadium. He has his back to no one, and is involved in every pitch. That’s right the catcher.
Sure I'm biased having had this "best seat" for 25 years. I started catching at age 11 when my cousin, also a former professional baseball player and now coach, told me the best and fastest way to be a major league baseball player was…

From Behind the Dish,

So what is the most important part job of the catcher? In my opinion, the name of the position says it all. CATCHER. Catching the ball from the pitcher is the most important job of the catcher. I can still hear my high school coaches booming voice scream “catchers catch the ball.” Catchers, as they progress should not drop balls or miss catchable pitches consistently. It may happen from time to time but…
