The present study investigated and compared the catching technique of catchers with that of players at other baseball positions, including pitchers, infielders, and outfielders, through sensory evaluations and biomechanical analyses. Eight registered catchers were compared with eight registered players from other positions, where they caught a ball released from a machine at 130 km/h. The study found that sensory evaluations by the pitcher were higher in the catcher group than in the non-catcher group. Moreover, the sound of the catch suggested that the catcher group were able to catch the ball more accurately ; the distance travelled by the mitt after contact was significantly smaller for the catcher group. The mitt velocity suggested that moving the mitt to the left and upwards is crucial for successful catching. The study also revealed that catchers exhibited higher activity in the extensor carpi radialis muscle immediately before ball contact, which was inferred as a preparatory action for pulling up the mitt.
