Catcher at bat
First year FED guy so feel free to slam me if you think I approached this wrong. Top of the second, starting catcher at bat - ball just above the knees called strike three. Catcher grumbles and kicks dirt as he walks away. No real show but he thought that the pitch was low and expressed it. Bottom of second - catcher behind plate, LH batter first pitch just off or at the edge of the plate but close enough at this level (JV). Ball one. Catcher turns around and says coach got me when I got to dugout and I understand and you won't here anything else out of me. Rest of the game went well and I think he had a better understanding of our relationship behind the plate.
