Catchers... be very aware of how early you set up for pitch locations during day games and where your shadow is... that's all I'll say about that.

Shout out to @PitchingNinja for this video and overlay. We can't look at pitches in a vacuum, or just the velocity or shape. Knowledge and respect for other pitches makes average pitches good, and good pitches excellent. Hitters are taking in information with every pitch. The best pitchers plant information to be played upon later, or use missed spots for their benefit. But Zito's curveball was nasty. Even in a vacuum.

Really recommend this account for a follow. If you're a baseballer, you're probably already following @nextlevelbb. But make sure you are following if you're not. Great perspective on the game.
