Pitch Calling Breakdown Will Help:
- Make smarter pitch calls, so your catcher isn’t relying on guesswork behind the plate.
- Understand what pitch to call and why, so your catcher can make decisions with purpose instead of simply throwing down a sign.
- Know when to change the approach, so your catcher can use strategies like pitching backward or doubling up with confidence.
- Start thinking through the entire at-bat, so your catcher can make decisions based on the hitter, pitcher, count, and game situation.
Who is this for?
Â
- Parents of catchers who want to help their player understand the game at a deeper level without feeling like they need to know everything about catching themselves.
- Coaches who didn’t play catcher and want to confidently teach pitch calling without guessing their way through a position they were never taught.
- Coaches who know the catching position but want a clearer way to teach the thought process behind what pitch to call and why.
- Developing catchers ready for more responsibility who want to understand how to think through an at-bat instead of simply waiting for the next sign.

TODD COBURN
Let’s be real: catchers are expected to know a lot more about the game than most players on the field.
After nearly 30 years of working with catchers, I’ve seen plenty of talented players spend hours developing their receiving, blocking, and throwing only to get behind the plate and have no idea why they should call one pitch over another.
And it’s not because they aren’t smart enough to understand it.
Most of them were simply never taught.
Pitch calling is often treated like something a catcher will eventually figure out by playing enough games. But experience alone doesn’t teach you what to look for, how to read the situation, or why one pitch makes more sense than another.
Once you teach a catcher the thought process behind the call, things start to click.
They stop simply putting down signs and start understanding the game happening in front of them.
That’s why I created Pitch Calling Breakdown.
I took the pitch-calling concepts I’ve taught catchers throughout my coaching career and broke them down so catchers, coaches, and parents can understand what to look for, what to call, and most importantly why.
