Take your game to the next level
Introducing the CRT Belt 2.0 from KGS Baseball. The CRT Belt is a training tool for baseball and softball catchers who want to enhance their receiving ability and execute the same movements as elite receivers in the game. The CRT, or "Catcher Resistance Training" Belt allows for resisted receiving exercises to be completed in an efficient manner. Developed by professional baseball players, our patent pending design is a direct result of wanting an easier and more wholesome way to train how we receive the baseball/softball. No need for a weight or fence to attach a resistance band to - simply hook up and get to work! The CRT 2.0 now includes both lengths of resistance cable and comes in a convenient mesh pouch for easier travel. For more information, features, and to purchase. BUNDLED WITH:
The Catcher’s Zone™ mat, designed by MLB bullpen coach Jordan Comadena and MLB 2022 All-Star, Gold Glove, and Platinum Glove winner, Jose Trevino, is one of the first training tools designed by and for, catchers. The mat is designed as a guide for both baseball and softball catchers on the proper body angle and glove positioning to expand the strike zone and to play the position at an optimal level.
The mat is portable and can be taken anywhere. Perfect for training facilities, teams, coaches, and players, the mat features a QR code that leads the user to an informal instructional video of Jose and Jordan explaining the finer points of playing the position, particularly the proper framing of balls so they have a better chance of being called a strike, a key metric in today’s game.
The mat can also be incorporated with our softball Pitcher's Alley so that both pitcher and catcher can work in unison.
Jose Trevino is recognized as the best defensive catcher in major league baseball, and the Jose Trevino Catcher’s Zone Mat adds a new element in the teaching of key fundamental skills for the position. EXPAND YOUR ZONE!

The CRT Belt is a result of a desire to simplify resisted receiving training for catchers, build a catcher's strength while receiving, and promote the proper technique used by elite level receivers. While (unsuccessfully) searching for a spot to connect a resistance band to at our facility for training receiving, the idea for the CRT Belt was born. Instead of needing a fence or weight to attach a resistance band to, we decided to eliminate the need for anything except for the CRT Belt and yourself!
DISCLAIMER: Not intended for use with pitching machines, high velocity settings, or while catching a pitcher. Resistance assembly is inherently restrictive and may cause injury if not used properly. Using the CRT Belt 2.0 with a pitching machine is to be completed at your own risk. Full disclaimer included in product instructions provided at purchase.
