Matt Falk, Catcher, Rapid Pop Time Improvement
Unfortunately, Matt sent me all the case study videos with a pop time of 1.9 (I broke out the video timer on coach’s eye to see exactly a 1.9!). Two days later, Matt messaged me with an updated 1.85 pop time.
In most cases I’ve worked with, catchers normally throw 10mph less from the crouch than they do run and gun. So the first thing you’ll notice is the huge bump in run and gun. If you watch closely, his transfer doesn’t really improve, but his arm path does.
If you compare the full videos at the end of the post, his 2.2 throw is probably 15 feet off the grounds vs his 1.9 throw where it’s probably closer to 8 feet off the ground. This is a MASSIVE change.
