Private, group & team sessions for 8U–15U players across Cobb County and Marietta, GA. Committed LaGrange College catcher.
I know what works — because it worked for me. Every session covers the six fundamentals that coaches at every level look for when they evaluate a catcher. From your first rep to your college commitment, these are the skills that separate good catchers from great ones.
The right stance, drop, and recovery — drilled until it's automatic. Real blocking confidence comes from reps, not theory.
Heavy balls build firm hands. Tennis balls teach softness. Train both and umpires start giving you calls.
Soft hands, quiet feet, early presentation. James works receiving mechanics that turn borderline pitches into strikes — every single game.
Pop time is the transfer, not arm speed. James's drills eliminate every bit of wasted motion from catch to release.
Quiet hands, early presentation, the body language that builds umpire trust over a full nine innings.
Catchers touch the ball every play. James coaches the "flush it" mindset — trust your reads, lead your pitcher, reset after every play.
Started at age 5 in Kennesaw. A coach put him behind the plate and he fell in love with the hardest position in baseball — and never looked back.
As his former travel coach, I've had the pleasure of working with James and witnessing his outstanding catching skills and leadership qualities on the field. I consistently saw him demonstrate exceptional techniques — receiving pitches, framing strikes, throwing out baserunners. What stood out even more was his ability to lead by example and build trust with his pitching staff. Anyone who takes lessons from James will not only improve their catching through personalized drills, but will also gain real insight into teamwork and leadership.
I would encourage any young catcher to work with James to improve their technique, both in pitch receiving and controlling the run game. James is not only an outstanding catcher, but also a great communicator that will be able to explain the finer details of the position.
