Fielding Pop-ups
Most pop-ups will tend to drift back into the field due to the spin of the ball, because of this the following steps should be used when fielding pop-ups from the catchers position:
  • Immediately look up and find the ball, take off mask if needed
  • Turn your back to the infield
  • Throw your mask far enough away so that you don’t trip over it
  • Raise you mitt above you chin
  • Catch the ball with two hands above your chin
