Some good comments about catchers hitting against good D.
We often relate all things baseball to the MLB level. At that level a team needs a quality receiver to catch the staff and give confidence to the pitchers. Historically, good mlb hitting catchers have been fewer than good D catchers.
That being said, those catchers were probably great hitters before they got to the top level.
On a youth team you need someone who can catch, and so on to every level, From a coaches perspective.
On an individual perspective, will you get looked at if you can't hit? Probably Not.
