The batter that struck out and argued with the umpire the inning before was just drafted 15th overall by the Dodgers, and his brother was the one who threw the pitch.

Why do any of you think MLB gives a rats behind about such behavior? Google Ben Christensen or Delmon Young sometime.
High schools, OTOH, should care A LOT about such things. Yet, if you google this incident and read some of the various discussion boards, you will find many more people who view this as "part of the game" than those who condemn it.

This might have happened to me once. Focusing on the pitcher and ball leaves very little chance for observing the catcher. In my case, not ducking like in the OP video. I saw a glimpse of the glove, figured the pitch was catchable. Nothing conclusive enough to eject or even warn; and no video. Partner did not remember noticing anything unusual.
