Reply to "Comparing Catchers"

Midlo Dad,
I agree with you and PG Staff. During a workout with the St. Louis Cardinals I asked the scouting director why they were interested in my son as a catcher since he had only caught for three years and was not the most polished receiver. The scouting director said the receiving and blocking skills he lacked were easily taught and the skills he already had in arm strength and eye hand coordination were not teachable.

** At the college level the catcher has to have a good arm and be able to block in order to shut down the running game.
