The Bengal Beat was able to sit down with Kingston Kolb. Kolb is a baseball player for LBHS and has been playing baseball for around eight years. When asked who inspired him to play baseball, he replied with Kris Bryant. The position Kolb plays in a game is catcher. Catchers are behind the hitter and their job is to call pitches and catch pitches thrown by their pitchers. One of the ways Kolb warms up for a game is by stretching. When asked what is one thing people might not know about baseball Kolb said, “A runner can get to first base by catcher interference which is when the catcher physically hinders the batter’s opportunity to legally swing at a pitched ball.” This occurs most often when a catcher squats too close to home plate so that the batter’s bat touches the catcher’s mitt as the batter swings.
