Down Broadway: Pitching and Catching
Techniques For The Modern Player
Four Stars
In Down Broadway, baseball coach Lefty Devers presents an excellent set of tutorials on the fundamentals of pitching and catching, aimed at players ages 8 to 18. First up is " clearing throws ", a technique designed to keep another player out of the way for a clear shot from behind home plate. Multiple camera angles and slow motion enable viewers to see every element in the set - up and sequence of moves for this technique and others, including fastball throwing ( both four -seem and two -seam ) for left and right - handers, Little League and Major League ( for those 14 and older ) styles for throwing a curve ball (again, for both hands ). And the art of the change up. Also covered are differnt stances, snap throws, and athletic gear, with an emphasis on catchers, including a look at the best facemask for visability and protection. Offering a combination of solid instruction and excellent visuals , this is highly recommended. Editors Choice
