While watching the recording of OU vs Oregon from this weekend, OUs catcher Whitney Ellis provided a very good argument as to why catchers want to block with their body and not their glove. Elliss attempt to stop a pitch in the dirt resulted in the pitch ending up on the backstop screen! The root cause could be how she sets up in stance and sets up for the pitch. She had committed her body to an inside pitch when the pitch went to opposite direction. With her knee forward and down, there was no way she could get her body behind the pitch to block it properly. Whether 10U or college... Baseball or softball.... ALWAYS use game specific stances that will allow you to block, throw and receive. ALWAYS (Let me say that again) ALWAYS block with your body! Not your glove.
