Reply to "Can A Catcher That Doesn't Block Make It As A College Catcher"

All true.  The problem with that approach is that if you're a C (or whatever) you probably only have to beat out one or two other guys to get in the lineup. If you're a DH, you have to beat out every non-starter on the team.

Maybe I'm inferring too much from the OP, but the question is - why is dad pushing this? Over the years I've seen parents find many ways to sabotage their son's baseball prospects, and insisting that they be a catcher or an infielder is definitely one of the most damaging -- and stupidest -- ones.

No clue why he’s pushing C. Kid has corner IF written all over him. One of the issues I also see is I don’t even think you can teach him to block, at least not at this age. He turns his head when he tries to pick.
