"When taking a flat catch, it’s important that you’re in a balanced position.
Notice from the clip how still the fielders head is at the point he takes the catch. This means that his eyes are stable and can focus on the ball. Watching it all the way from the bat in to the hands. Because of the height of the catch, it means that you have to have your fingers facing upwards. Relax your hands and watch the ball right into your palms.
Remember to take the ball in front of your face but move your head out of the way when the ball nestles in the hands, otherwise there could be an injury."
