Those drills have been mostly the same for as long as anyone can remember, but the Cincinnati Reds put an interesting twist on one of the drills they had their catchers run.
The Reds posted a video on social media on Monday of catchers practicing their tags with the help of a stuffed animal.

Kenny Smith’s comments were lazy, loaded with misogyny, and ruined an iconic event.
