I never throw the ball to the pitcher anymore. Why make a fool of yourself when you have a 16 y.o. athlete (F2) standing right next to you.

Besides, most catchers want you to give the ball to them; they zealously protect that special relationship between them and their pitcher.

Being a former catcher, I resemble that remark and would further say, they would get jealous.
