This leads to another question what do you do when a catcher is really bad?
In a 4A (next to highest division) varsity the other day I got hit 5 times by pitchers a good catcher would have stopped my thigh is purple from groin to knee from two that hit is the same vicinity after bouncing off the plate.

I expect a foul every now and again but the battery for this team never was on the same page, catcher setup out pitch is in, 60 foot fastballs, that bubba couldn’t/didn’t block and lots of hit flesh

Turned into a long painful game
