Runner stealing and pitcher airmails it to the backstop is generally (if not always) awarded as a stolen base thus will count in any calculation.

Imagine that is why most coaches/recruiters/scouts concern themselves with pop time and velocity. Those are almost solely in the control of the catcher. Stolen bases or caught stealing involve a lot of other factors and other players.

I suspect the reason scouts choose not to give catcher’s stats like PBs or caught stealing percentage, is because many many scorers can’t tell the difference between a WP, PB, or when a SB should be scored.
