RECRUITS: When you’re playing, showcasing or attending camps…. Give coaches a reason to want to see you again. You could have all 5 tools and still have a bad day. Show us your 6th tool!

Had a great couple days in NY last week, hitting four ground-rule doubles and throwing out 6/7 runners. Patrick Kirby The Catching Academy NorCalU Army Navy Warriors @mross18

Using a stability pad to work on staying behind and firming up the front side. This helps us utilize ground force and create space to release the ball out front.

Wow, NorCalU, you weren’t kidding. This DTDevelopmentCA facility is a serious place for serious player development. It’s larger than Texas-size.

Perfect weather for touring the beautiful campus at The University of Chicago with Nathan Bae. Thank you for the tour, Kevin Tyrrell!

I’ve met so many good baseball people and families during the past 12 years of watching my son play. Patrick Kirby and The Catching Academy have been working with my son since he was 9yo. You guys are the best! Pat, you’re my Jerry Maguire!

Last time I checked, U-of-C had 7 Nobel Prize winners among their faculty. Admission alone is a big deal. Adding baseball is a flex.

With that, the final HS seasons starts… Patrick Kirby The Catching Academy

Baseball has been good to me. Been watching my son play for years and visiting beautiful ballparks around the country with him. The latest stop - the Wrigley Field - watching my beloved Dodgers while freezing my balls off. Sorry, Patrick Kirby Dodgers won.

Today, I’m a proud parent of a kid who has worked hard to become a student(first)-athlete at UChicago. On the left is his roommate and former teammate, now a battery mate Max Wiesner. Couldn’t have done it without Patrick Kirby The Catching Academy Tony Crivello.

ADJUSTABILITY! Our first decision doesn’t have to be our final decision. Here you see a reach to receive or catch the ball, but then adjust to block. Too many times catchers make a decision too early and don’t adjust.

First collegiate hit of the career! @mross18 The Catching Academy Patrick Kirby
