Place your throwing hand on top of the ball as it goes into your glove. This will make sure that the ball does not pop out of your glove. When the ball is completely into the glove bring both hands up into your pectoral muscles. This will in sure that you have control of the ball. You will now be ready to pop up and throw the baseball. Remember to keep your top hand on the ball so you can take it the baseball out to throw.
