My son Caron Graham threw out a runner at second base in his first practice tournament. He credits your coaching him to jump up like a surfer on a board then one motion release. This is his first year as a starting catch and he already has done something none of the others catcher have. He also has two runners try to score as the ball got past him but he quickly recovered and threw both of them out to the pitcher covering. Thanks for all your help at The Yard! Good luck this season, we look forward to seeing you up in the show!.
