If the catcher is 2.2+, I don't even care what kind of time the pitcher is.

Considering that the MLB average for Catchers is 2.0, my bust guess would be that 90%+ of HS Catchers are 2.2 or over (if timed correctly).

My best advice would be to time your guys full speed from lead to 2nd (w slide) and do the math (Pitcher time + pop time) that will be a useful guide.
