The Anchor! Great new device from Xan Barksdale. We have gotten great feedback from using it in training. Resistance training helping to build muscles/ move glove faster but also help in receiving and feeling how to move to various pitch locations! A must to coaching tool box. @xanbarksdale catching-101.com
