Catching Coach your right on the money. My posistion that I coach is Catchers. I've timed hundreds of catchers over the last several years in game situations and practice. The average High School catcher is around 2.3. If pitchers hold runners correctly and the throw is accurate 2.3 is adequate to throw out the average high school runner. The good catchers pop at the high school level will be 2.1 to 2.3. Every once in a while you see the kid with 2.0 1.98 times. I have actually seen guys thrown out on 2.5 when the runner got a bad jump and the throw was on the money. I have also seen a 1.98 not get guys because the pitcher could not hold runners close enough or refused to. My youngest son who is an 8th grader is 2.15 - 2.25. My High School starter is 2.25 - 2.35 hes a senior. A good time to shoot for is an accurate 2.0 but a consistent 2.1 2.2 accurate throw is very good.
