This episode offers us the unique opportunity to highlight a 26-year continuous ABCA member while also delivering tremendous insight on developing the catching position from one of the best: Carson-Newman University head coach Tom Griffin. A featured clinician on two occasions at the ABCA Convention plus a number of other coaching clinics, Griffin is well-known in coaching circles as one of the most passionate and creative catching coaches in the country who always delivers terrific drills and ideas for development behind the plate. Listen in as Griffin takes us through leadership development for his catchers, which translates to running the pitching staff, bullpens and even trickles into the dugout and locker room. Also, we could not hang up with Griffin until we emptied out his pockets with great receiving, blocking and arm strength drills as well as combination drills that incorporate all elements of the position and help spice up practice time and catch play. This is a can't-miss episode for catching coaches or anyone interested in learning more about developing behind the dish!
