basically easy gets hit moves next pitches sit until works
It was the same as before. He's easy to catch. You just sit back, put up the glove and let him hit it. He just basically works his pitches until he gets a feel for them and then moves on to the next one. It's like most perfectionists do.
arizona ball bit broken butter catching caught earn missed pitchers plus respect scared sharp trust wake warm
He's just one of those pitchers who you have to earn his respect and trust before he is going to up to you. When I caught him in Arizona I hadn't really broken into the big leagues. I was scared and nervous, but now it's a little bit different. Plus after catching Wake it's like catching warm butter with a sharp knife. I don't know how I ever missed a ball before.
