The young Ugandan has been using Rocky’s technique to train the wide receiver. This involves a rigorous training regimen that focuses on agility, strength, and speed drills, as well as proper nutrition and hydration habits. The results have been impressive thus far; the wide receiver is now faster than ever before with improved footwork and catching ability. With this newfound confidence in his abilities, he is ready to take his game to the next level.
Meet Kalsumba Dennis. He is a young baseball player from Uganda. It’s impossible to tell if he’s of the caliber of a professional player, but he certainly catches the ball – or anything else – like a natural catcher.
We say, anything else because he finds a way to train with anything he can get his hands on.
He grips a baseball with something that looks more like pita bread than a catcher’s glove.

His most admired training method is blocking home plate. He takes the wheel of a fictional racer… a car.

He replaces the baseball with a brick to ensure that his arm stays in the strike zone despite the weight of the brick.
Training continues even without gloves hard papers also work as gloves. Everyday single day comes with its own challenges sometimes it’s so hard but the only choice I have is to keep going at it with all I got. I trust the process more so I will stay working hard pic.twitter.com/MeGJANaaI1

When the fastball enters the glove, the human reflex puts his hand down under the force of impact.
In short, we suspect that the young teenager — he attends high school — does not benefit from the infrastructure of a high school baseball program.
You can never fault him for his determination and if he doesn’t become a baseball player he will do well in life.
Dennis has created a sensation on social media and his coaching methods have resonated with Major League Baseball.
Jared Karabis, popular baseball podcast host The Tribal Chief, relayed a video on his Twitter account offering to pay for training equipment for Dennis.
You tell me what you need for baseball equipment and I got you. https://t.co/6x3v5u2f72

Joining Carabis is Dodgers star pitcher Walker Buehler.
Charging through an SUV wheel is fun, but this young receiver certainly wouldn’t hurt to get a little upgrade.
