*SHOW TIMESTAMPS FEATURED AT THE END*

In this episode Gerry welcomes on New York Yankees Major League Catching Coach Tanner Swanson.

To start, Tanner gives some insight on his playing career and his rise through the ranks of coaching. He also explains his unique experience of not being a catcher during his playing days but becoming a catching coach during his coaching career.

From there, Tanner breakdown the attributes of a catcher and explains the hierarchy of importance of qualities such as throwing out base runners, framing pitches and blocking. In today's day and age, framing is the most important and formerly underrated quality and the best way a catcher can have an impact on the game and pitching staff.

To finish up, Tanner sheds some light on his work with Mitch Garver of the Minnesota Twins and his current work with Yankees' backstop Gary Sanchez. This covers the "one knee," set-up Tanner is known for and how he introduces it to catchers.

All that and more on this episode of Muscles and Management!
