During a inter squad scrimmage at the D2 university, he did catch on request of the coach - one of his two catchers was hurt or something. Anyway, after the game they timed his pop and it was 1.8. Not too bad for someone who had not been actively practicing at the position.
Sadly, baseball is no longer part of our life (except an occasional minor league game or a trip to Baltimore or DC). It's been a year or so since I've attended a HS game. But we enjoyed 15 years of non stop baseball with our son. It was a helluva ride.
1.8 is great! And even more impressive if he wasn't actively catching much at the time!
I find it interesting how some people fall in love with catching while others can take it or leave it. It sounds like your son just wanted to be on the field and was happy to play multiple different positions, which is awesome. I'm sure his coaches appreciated that attitude.
