CATCHER'S POSTURE is a term used in baseball to describe the position of the catcher when they are ready to receive a pitch. It is also known as a SQUAT, which is a five-letter word that can be used to describe the position. The catcher's posture involves the catcher bending their knees and crouching down behind home plate in order to have the best view of the pitch and to be able to react quickly. This position also helps the catcher to absorb the impact of a thrown ball.
