BODY POSITION ON BAD PITCHES
Not too far away - keep the feet planted moving the body toward the ball... Clearly Away - take one step toward the ball... High Pitches - the glove is angled down above the pitch... Low Pitches Near The Body - drop to the knees, body square to the pitch, hand in the middle of the body, the chest square to the pitch, the chin tucked into the chest, the shoulders forward... Low Pitches Away From The Body - step to the side of the ball, drop the opposite knee to the ground, hands to the space between the knees and the foot. Keep the body as square to the ball as possible.

Please show me an Effective Catcher Drill that develops a catcher's body position on bad pitches.
