• Baseballs lined up directly in front of the catcher, 2 feet apart each
• Catcher drops and blocks behind the first ball, pops back up and moves to the next ball in line to repeat
• Catcher should focus on covering the five hole with their glove and getting to the proper blocking position with shoulders over the ball every time
• Catcher should take a short break between reps, allowing a partner to do the drill
