How to be a Major League Bullpen Catcher

I was a catcher in high school, and while Neil Barham could run it up there pretty good, his fastball did not compare to these major leaguer's. For this Anything You Can Do segment I strapped on the gear gave it my best shot in the San Diego Padres bullpen.

This reminds me of a story my brother told me from when he caught at a juco. He was the second string catcher and the team had a Venezuelan kid that threw 96 with a ton of movement, but had no idea where it was going. The kid was getting scouted and the coach asked the catchers who wanted to catch his bullpen in front of the scouts. The only stipulation was “you must catch the first ball. I don’t care if you miss every other one, but you MUST catch the first ball.” My brother volunteered and played catch with him until the scouts arrived. He got down in his squat and the pitch was thrown...clocked in at 97 and was about a foot over his head. The coach yelled “GOD FUCKING DAMNIT *last name* YOU HAD ONE JOB!” Everyone (except the angry coach) broke down laughing, including the scouts. The bullpen went fine afterwards, but my brother thought the coach was going to rip his head off for a few minutes there.

Hatch is the nicest dude ever. He was a very good minor league catcher that never got a shot at the show. Did everything the Padres asked of hime but never got a shot, so eventually he said "screw it" and took the bullpen catcher job. Took great care of me when I was the bp catcer for his AAA team.

As long as he stays in shape he can probably earn a good living being a bullpen catcher much longer than he would've been able to earn a living being a player.

I was an organizational bullpen catcher for Toronto in the early 80's. I went throughout the minor league system from high A to a brief time in AAA. A great way for a HS catcher to learn when there was no travel baseball available.

@88theturboFilms 8 жыл бұрын

every kind. It's from crouching, blocking, and catching. Your knees will be sore, mainly because the human body was not designed to crouch how we crouch for as long as we crouch. I haven't caught in a few weeks and it still hurts for me to crouch. You will have bruises all over your body from keeping the ball in front, and your finger will be swollen if you are catching anyone fast.
