Wichita State assistant coach Collin Wilber joins the podcast to talk catchers and how the importance of coaching the position is growing. We talk about the use of video to improve skills and why it can be so important to help pitchers by turning borderline pitches into strikes. There are four catchers on the Shocker roster. Wilber breaks down their performances in the fall and tells us how a call for bullpen catchers produced four candidates from the student body, one who made a great early impression on coaches. We also discuss his time working as a pipe-fitter, contemplating working in the ship-building industry, and how he changed paths into coaching.
