| 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
