As a Dad, I can appreciate your concern.
Just a thought, though. The coaches and league administrators should be involved in keeping the playing conditions safe and reminding everyone to get water. Will it hurt to tell a catcher to be sure to get a drink? No, but you should be worried about yourself AND your partner(s). I've seen umpires drop from the heat and heart attacks and lost a friend a couple of years ago who had to be cut out of his chest protector to give him CPR.

I agree that we are all looking out for their welfare, but take care of yourself and your partners first. You would be best served that when you get a drink, to smile and tell the coach, "Make sure they get enough, too." or "Have you guys got enough water?" It shows you care, without meddling. We need all the friends we can get out there.
