MGRP ProjectThe Catcher is the most important position in the game of baseball. He must be the team's leader. He has the entire field in front of him and has to be able to read and react to every situation as it happens within a split second. Catching is one of the most demanding positions in all of sports; physically and mentally. This project will show how difficult it is to be a catcher, the evolution of the position, and the role of the catcher on and off the field.

"The catcher is in the middle of everything. He sees it best." |
"We used no mattress on our hands, No cage upon our face; We stood right up and caught the ball, With courage and with grace." |
