Me? To be candid, we go watch some local D1 programs. And, for sure, all their catchers excel at receiving, blocking and throwing. They all look like defensive studs to me. So, you have to have those skills if you want to stick at catcher. And, FWIW, at least around us, none of them are batting above 6th. So, there might be something to what those guys are saying. HOWEVER, you better be a great hitter at the HS level. Kids hitting. 225 in HS ain't playing in college, defensive stud or not.
