1. Reverse takeover
First of all, since this is the basics, we won't be using gloves!
"I'll catch it the other way around."
reverse!?
It looks something like this.
Instead of catching the ball from above, bend down and catch it firmly from below.
Once you get used to it, try moving and catching the ball as if you were actually catching a ground ball.
What does this mean?
Firmly approach the ball from below
It's about raising awareness!
By approaching the ball from below, you can adapt to a variety of bounces, which will definitely reduce errors!
2. Basic catching movements
First, put on your gloves.
He has someone throw a ground ball, catches it firmly from below, and brings it up to his belt.
Then step and throw.
Don't go to throw it before you have it on your belt! 
Once you get used to it, try doing it while moving!
This practice will help you develop a good sense of catching the ball.
If your body moves in the direction of the throw, it will result in a fumble or an error!
3. Figure eight
Finally, we will practice the figure eight!
What I mean is, look at the image below.
Have the players take turns throwing the ball in opposite directions, and then catch it softly by wrapping their arms around it.
It is important to place the glove along the line of the ball!
This exercise helps you to be conscious of your knees.
The knees are very important in defense, and you use the cushion of your knees to adjust to the bounce of the ball.
This exercise also helps improve your handling!
4. Conclusion
What did you think?
There are often players who get knocked right away!
No good!
First, build up the basics, then move on to knocking and defensive practice!
Top players in amateur baseball and top players in the NPB also place great importance on basic training!
