The Blocking Drill Have a partner gets some baseballs while you get down in your catcher's stance. Have your partner throw the baseballs one at a time in the dirt from a close distance. He shouldn't let you know which side he is going to throw to, you must react to this. The ball will idealy take a short bounce before you attempt to block it. Make sure you are using proper technique when you are blocking these baseballs. Glove between the legs, palms facing up, with your elbows tucked against your sides. Have your partner let you get set in between each throw because you don't want to establish bad technique by doing this drill rapid fire.
