Reply to "Catcher chating up a batter?"

I don't know what the rules are, but...I've seen kids do this sort of stuff - 1st (or 3rd) baseman try to get away with standing on the base or in the base path, SS stepping on runners hand after he dives back on a pickoff attempt...I'd put catchers trying to distract a hitter in the same bush league category. I would never encourage my kid to resort to that sort of thing. Besides, if it doesn't make the player better, why focus a kids attention on it. Also, if he ticks off the wrong player he could be wearing one on the ear hole in his next at-bat.
