It does not need to be their full time catcher. Pitchers will have the opportunity to work with Head Coach Kirk Walker on the breakdown of pitching mechanics. They will also have a chance to work with former and current Beaver pitchers.

CATCHING CLINIC: Catchers will need to bring their own catching gear and glove. These catchers will not be able to catch a pitcher who is in the pitching clinic. Catchers will have the opportunity to work with Assistant Coach Geoff Hirai on the breakdown of catching mechanics. Blocking, framing and the mental aspect of the game will get broken down. Campers will also have the opportunity to work with former and current Beavers.
