Catchers in college are unique. I get the feeling some aren’t sure of where they fit in their program even after they have been there a year or more. Is there anything a parent or a player can ask during the recruiting visits that could help? What do you all think? How many catchers does a college really need? I have seen as many as six catchers on a roster. How many “game” catchers does the team need? How many bullpen catchers does a club need? Do college coaches recruit “bull-pen” catchers knowing they will never catch in a game? Do colleges recruit (other position)/catchers and use them as bullpen catchers? What about a catcher's bat; is it more or less important than other positions?
