Finding the Edge

Exploring Catching and Hitting from an Ecological Dynamics Lens with Nick Ascue


Listen Later

This week we had Nick Ascue who is the Volunteer Assistant at Bowling Green University in Ohio in charge of catchers and hitters there. Today we explore how Nick develops catchers and hitters through both a games-based and ecological approach. We also explore catching through the perspective of the umpire and what their intentions and perceptions may be and how they contribute to ball and strike calls and how the catcher can exploit that information to their advantage.
