Ive seen guys thrown out on 2.4's and I have seen 2.0 throws that were not even close. What kind of jump a kid gets depends on how the pitchers are holding the runners and the jump determines the stolen base.

I agree that average hitters go to college. However, the catchers that are truly great as far as calling a game/throwing runners, etc. are the ones that do well after college, even if they aren't necessarily a great hitter. Being able to have the pitchers trust is very important as you get up in levels....unless of course you can just mash.
