Here's a better question. Why can't pitchers throw strikes when a guy squares? It is one of my biggest pet peeves as a coach is to watch a guy square around then 4 pitches later walk to first

Coach Bill Ayres replied to Ryan Solberger's discussion 'Catching'
Ryan, Stay away from static stretching. In other words stretching when the body is not moving. This kind of warm-up has been around forever and it has been proven NON BENEFICIAL! It actually promotes injury. Have your catchers do little hop and ski…
