- MLB Tonight: Girardi and Lowell on Catcher Skills – Intricacies and craft on catching Pop Ups
- Turn around (jersey number faces the center field) and take your face mask off to look for the ball; it will be very difficult to locate on a clear sky so you have to locate it as soon as you can
- Once the ball is located, jog slowly to the spot
- toss your facemask along the way to your right as far as you can so you don’t accidentally trip on it
- Run on your toes, not on your heels. Running on heels will bounce your head more (this applies to all fielders as well)
- Get under the ball with glove and throwing hand under the glove
- Pop up foul ball happens because the bat undercuts the bottom portion of the ball which means the ball has a backspin
- Backspin means the ball will come down in a curve towards the center field
