You'll run into this issue at even 10U and 12U A clubs. The pitchers will often exceed the catcher.

It can be a painful thing. People dont breed and train catchers from birth like they do pitchers. Some of these pitchers are so advanced, you become their personal back stop. When a 12 y/o girl can throw 45-50 mph, that hurts.
