How many times have you heard the phrase "TWO HANDS!" Why don't people recognize how silly this advice actually is?
You purchase a glove for one hand. You wear it on one hand. You purchased the glove with the intent that it would catch the ball. Why do you want to teach players to use the bare hand to assist in this process?
The bare hand is for throwing the ball. It is not for catching the ball.
Too many times I see young kids who think that two hands is the proper way to catch the ball and they never actually learn to catch the ball with their glove. They're so preoccupied with "cradeling" the ball like it's a football. It's a baseball that is meant to be caught in the pocket of a well designed Rawlings or Wilson or Mizuno.
Get your other darn hand out of the way and learn to use the equipment the way it was designed to be used.
