The inaugural CatcherFest brought the catching world together for the very first time.
Two days at Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando — created by Florida Baseball Ranch
co-founders and MLB coaches Eddy Rodriguez and
Greg Brown to unite the best minds in the position under one roof.
Players, coaches, college programs, and professional organizations came to elevate their
knowledge of the craft — and proved the appetite for a dedicated catching conference was
real. Everything CatcherFest has become started here.
