I called a game at a high school last week where the back stop was about 15 behind the plate. They had just covered the concrete footing with a padding similar to what is used to cover goal posts in football.

R3 was stealing on the pitch. The pitch, high and outside went untouched to the padding where it bounced back towards the catcher. The catcher turned, saw the bounce and caught the ball in the air bare-handed, and tagged the runner for the out. It almost looked choreographed.
