## Caption

Blocking isn’t about style. It’s about getting the job done.

One knee. Two knees. Traditional. Angled. Square.

I don’t care what it looks like if the catcher understands the situation, controls the baseball and keeps the runner where he belongs.

The stance must fit:

• The pitcher
• The pitch
• The count
• The game situation
• The catcher’s body
• The expected miss

Results over aesthetics.

Catchers aren’t mannequins. They’re problem-solvers. Develop options, understand context and stop the baseball.

You do you! Just get the job done.
