The Pitcher-Catcher-Defensive session runs from 2-5 p.m. Pitchers will have individual instruction and learn about WKU's pitching philosophy with extensive drill sets, as well as learning about arm care programs and injury prevention.
Catchers will have individual instruction and will take live bullpen sessions, which will allow players to fine-tune their catching stances and mechanic talk, there will also be defensive drills to work on proper blocking and throwing techniques.
In the Defensive part of the camp, the Toppers coaching staff will lead drill work and instruction to focus on the fundamentals of infield and outfield play, including proper routes and jumps to the ball, as well as footwork and other routines.
