Recent catching play for Cleveland Indians shows serious problem
Cleveland Indians catcher René Rivera tracked a breaking pitch from Seattle’s Rafael Montero. It started in near his hands, and the journeyman catcher — now with his 10th major league team — loaded and swung. Montero had left the slider just high enough for Rivera to drive it high into the afternoon Cleveland sky.
On the broadcast, Matt Underwood initially thought it was gone, but adjusted once he saw the ball carom off the wall.
