Usually with my right hand.
Does the rule book say the catcher MUST catch the ball?
Does the umpire's manual say the catcher MUST catch the ball?
I know it has been taught by many for years that if the catcher can't catch it, you can't call it a strike. Those are usually the same folks who swear the runner has to beat the ball, that ties do not go to the runner.
