+1 on Chico's post. If they need their starting catcher to pitch a few innings to help win a championship, that's one thing.  But having him pitch JV?? That is nuts, or at least shortsighted.  As for SS, I differ a bit on that. I've seen plenty of #1 pitchers (though not catchers) play SS without issues.  There usually aren't really that many 100% throws in a game. If the player takes it easy during practices and warm ups, the risk of injury should not be that great.

I don't think it's quite as bad as it seems. He only caught a few innings last Tuesday against a bad team. Game on Thursday was cancelled. JV game was on Friday. This week we have varsity games Mon, Tues, Thurs. I don't see him playing the JV game on Friday unless he doesn't play in the Thursday game for some reason.
