In OBR, there is no defensive statistic for 'caught stealing' it is only a statistic for baserunners.

I don't know how the "percentage against" is calculated. One could guess, but as an extreme example, I just came from a HS game where a slow crafty lefty had runners running on first movement. He was so slow he would stop his motion and throw behind the runners to first, only to have them be safe at second. Does this count against the catcher? I don't know, but in these cases he was nothing but a frustrated observer.

I'm sure stats can quote some great criteria for how this statistic is generated.
