They are called upon to be warriors.\n\nWith all the skills you have to master … and the physical challenges you face … you're practically the baseball version of a Navy SEAL out there.\n\n You’ve got pitch calling\, receiving\, blocking\, throwing out base-stea lers\, backing up first base on ground balls\, tags at the plate\, pickoff throws\, pop flys in foul territory and near the dugout\, and much more.\ n\nYou have to know your pitcher\, sense their problems\, walk out and cal m them down like a psychiatrist ... and all those jobs are rolled into one hot\, sweaty\, PUNISHING position.\n\nNobody understands or appreciates e verything you do as a catcher\, except maybe a few enlightened pitchers an d ex -catchers . It's a lonely position in which you are involved in almos t every single play and when the pressure is on\, the outcome of the game often itself hangs on the decisions you make.\n\nThey can change pitchers two or three times an inning ... change infielders or outfielders ... but rarely if ever do they change catchers. Think about that ...\nYou're The M ost Difficult Position Player To Replace\, Because You Play The Most Deman ding Position!\nSo\, it’s about time somebody designed a training event to cover ALL the skills you need to excel at your position.\n\nThat time i s now. That event is The Elite Catchers Boot Camp. And you’re invited.\n \nHere's why this is important: Elite performance requires elite coaching. It's as simple as that.\n\nThe instructors and coaches you surround yours elf with will largely determine how far you go as a catcher. That's why I' ve assembled catching coaches from Professional Baseball including the Maj or Leagues to give you ...\nThe Missing Pieces To The Catching Puzzle\nYou see\, when most people think about catching\, they think only about recei ving\, blocking\, and throwing ... and those are all incredibly important. But often it's the other essentials -- the little things that add up to B IG improvements -- that you must master if you want to reach the next leve l as a catcher.\n\nAt this one-of-a-kind\, 3-day Elite Catchers Boot Camp\ , you get hands-on training in these essentials:\n\nElite-Level Receiving - Session 1 (Fastball)\nElite-Level Receiving - Session 2 (Secondary)\nEli te-Level Blocking Techniques: 2 sessions\nElements to a Sub 2.0 Pop Time - Session 1 (Footwork\, transfer\, velocity &\; command)\nElements to a Sub 2.0 Pop Time - Session 2 (Drills to improve)\nMobility and Flexibility \nArm Prep and Arm Care (including a personal video analysis)\nBut that's not enough. You could read about pro-level catching techniques or see them in a YouTube video.\n\nWhat makes this Boot Camp so valuable to you are t he elite-level coaches who are working with YOU personally.\n\nWith experi ence playing and coaching at the highest levels of baseball\, including th e Major Leagues\, you get access to catching secrets and shortcuts you won 't find anywhere else.\n\n \;\nHere's A Quick Look At Who's Coaching A nd Mentoring You:\n \;\n\nGreg Brown: Co-owner - Florida Baseball Ranc h®. Former Chicago Cubs Hitting coach and former head coach at Nova South eastern University. He's often referred to as the "Dean" of college catchi ng instructors in America\, coaching 2 Rawlings Gold Glove recipients at c atcher\, including one of our instructors\, Garrett Wolforth! With 15 year s of experience developing elite players\, Brown has seen 35 of his player s sign pro contracts since 2011. Any young catcher who had the opportunity to listen to and work personally with Brownie would never forget that exp erience.\n\nEddy Rodriguez: Co-owner - Florida Baseball Ranch®. Former Mi nor League Field Coordinator for the New York Mets\, Former Major League C atching Coach for the Miami Marlins and former catcher with the San Diego Padres. His family defected from Cuba on his father's fishing boat when he was 7 years old\, nearly dying on the journey. You'd better believe Eddy can make you tougher and better when it comes to catching!\n\nJosh Paul: F ormer MLB catcher\, catching coordinator and Major League Bench Coach. Wit h 10+ years of experience at the MLB level as both a player and coach\, Pa ul brings a wealth of on-field experience and insight to his coaching and training process. His expertise extends beyond the field as an editor of t he Florida Baseball Ranch® catching manual. His dedication to player deve lopment and his comprehensive understanding of catching make him an invalu able resource for aspiring and experience catchers alike.\n\nGarrett Wolfo rth: Former professional catcher. Garrett has been exposed to our throwing process for his entire life at the Texas Baseball Ranch®\, which may exp lain how he set a PG Record at the 2014 National Underclass All-American G ames of 89 mph to second base and 1.75 pop time that remain the best ever at the event. Data is everywhere in baseball today and although in its inf ancy\, catchers are also being assessed by data at the professional level.   In Garrett’s first full year of catching\, he rated out a 107.5 on a scale where 100 is average professional catcher\, which boded very well fo r his training and off-season work. The reports also indicated to him not only where he was very good but where he personally needed to improve. You ’ll love learning from his experience.\n\nMichael Trautwein: AAA catcher for the Cincinnati Reds. "Trauty" grew up outside of Atlanta\, GA and pla yed his college baseball at the University of Michigan. He was drafted in the 13th round by the Reds in 2021 and quickly moved up levels due to his defensive skill and on-field abilities to manage pitchers . In 2024\, he w as selected to participate in the prestigious MLB Fall League. Trauty has an incredible energy and passion for the game which he loves sharing with younger players.\n\nHere's a sample of a True Media heat map. Red indicate s where the catcher did well and blue where he underachieved. During the c amp you will get an understanding along with specific training on how to i mprove receiving to all areas of the zone.\n\n\nClick HERE to Register NOW \n \;\nHere's A Sample Of What You'll Discover …\n \;\n\n\n\n[em bed]https://vimeo.com/1078051622/6435bd8116?ts=0&share=copy[/embed]\n\n\n\ nFormer professional catcher\, Greg Brown\, teaches receiving skills -- an d makes it simple!\n \;\n\n\n\n\nCoach Eddy Rodriguez teaching major l eague blocking techniques\n\n\n\nGarrett Wolforth teaching a connected and efficient catcher's throw during the video analysis.\n\n\n\n \;\nMeet Your Coaches And Instructors\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGreg Brown\nFlorida Baseball Ra nch®\n\n\nEddy Rodriguez\nFlorida Baseball Ranch®\n\n\n \;\n\n\n\nGa rrett Wolforth\nTexas Baseball Ranch®\n\n\nRon Wolforth\nCEO\, Texas Base ball Ranch®\n\n\n\n\nJosh Paul\nFlorida Baseball Ranch®\n\n\n\nMichael T rautwein\nCincinnati Reds\n\n\n\n\n \;\n\n \;\nWhy Is This A "Must -Attend" Event?\nThis Elite Catchers Boot Camp is for you if ...\n\n You have a love for baseball and catching\n You are persistent\n You have a burning desire to improve\n You are not afraid of hard work\n You have p arents who are supportive\, think you have great potential but know you ar e missing a few things and want to get you in front of the best of the bes t\n You've tried other training systems and just haven't made the improve ments you expected\n\nNow\, you may be wondering ...\n"Am I Elite Enough F or This?"\nTo us\, 'elite' refers to a mindset and not a skill set. If you love catching -- TRULY love catching -- you are to us 'elite'. If on the other hand you simply like to play catcher but don’t really want to be c hallenged \, we recommend a less intense camp.\n\n \;\nThe Elite Catch ers Boot Camp Has The Power To Change Your Life\nNearly 40% of players who come to The Texas Baseball Ranch® ... come back for their second and thi rd camps. Why? Because with every visit\, they unlock new levels of skills and expand their potential. They learn more and they become better. Now i t’s your turn!\n\nFact: You may already be a good catcher. Maybe even a great catcher. But your current ability does NOT matter. Because at the Ra nch\, you don’t just reach your fixed potential ... you discover how to expand your potential and go beyond what you thought was possible.\n\nWhat ’s possible for you? You may never know. Not unless you have the right c oach to bring it out of you. That’s the most important thing a coach can do -- paint a picture of what’s possible for you. And that's why I've a ssembled a whole team of the best catching coaches I could find for you.\n \nBottom Line: When you go home\, you will almost certainly surprise yours elf and shock your teammates. And you can't make a mistake thanks to our T exas Size Money-Back Guarantee.
