I am a catcher, and I threw out no runners this year on my JV team, a majority of it is my fault, mostly because I don't have a very strong arm which I will be working at long tossing over summer, but a lot of it is the pitchers. Even in the stretch, their windups are extremely long and stretched out. Then, add on top of that, they don't check runners very well at all, and only one of our pitchers can get the ball in at anything over 60 mph, he generally throws 70 ish, but isn't to accurate, but still handleable, but I think that especially in high school ball, a lot of it falls on the pitchers. Not taking blame off myself, I am not that great of a catcher, but I think the coaches, at least mine anyways, should emphasize more on holding the runner on, and getting to home quicker.
