There is so much more to catching than pop times that I often find it funny how they are the only statistic you ever hear. How well you block a ball, set up a target, catch the unexpected pitch, how good are your hands, how fast can you run, can you hit, do you have a good attitude, are you a team leader, do the pitchers like throwing to you.......
It's important to remember that a pop time is just one facet of a catchers' make up. It is probably no different than a center fielder only talking about his time in the 60. Although that is quite important, there is so much more that goes into a ballplayers make up. When you talk to a potential coach it is important to present the entire picture of what you are and what you bring to the table. He may like you and sign you and then say "son go on out and play left field". You never know.
