2 Things I Learned Watching Johnny Bench - YouTube

Two things I've learned from studying Johnny Bench for the last two days. Number one, he starts getting up before the pitch even gets to him. So, he's not typically catching the ball near his chest. He's actually catching the ball near his waist or hips. And then number two is his throwing hand is not behind his leg, but his throwing hand is right there next to the glove.
