I think we still need to be clear that this has to be done based on the level you work. You cannot expect a JV catcher to be this precise and catch everything that well. I have seen college a catcher struggle trying to do this. I had a catcher in a college game this Monday that could not get catch the ball properly on many borderline pitches. I agree with the practice of making the catcher catch the ball properly, I just use it more on borderline pitches. A pitch down the middle there is not much a catcher can do to screw that up. Well, they could dive at the pitch if they are set up too far inside or outside.

Peace
