Unbelievable. Using 9.01c as justification for changing a player.
A simpler solution, tell the catcher and the coach that you are going to use the catchers chest protector strap (the one that goes down the middle of the back) as a handle and you are going to use the catcher as a human shield.
I've told a couple of young catchers and coaches this, I gotten a deer in the headlights look from catchers, however, the coach gets the point pretty quick and things change.
I've never had to use the shield yet, however it gets the point across with a little bit of subtleness.
