At my son's old school, they had 2 junior catchers and one freshman catcher. Just 3 catchers on the roster. The freshman got 5 at bats all year. The juniors basically split the playing time. Worse, the freshman caught so many bullpens that he tore his meniscus and was catching bullpens sitting on a stool towards the end of the season. He hit the transfer portal after the end of the semester. It's really terrible what some programs do to these kids.

I’ve never heard of a catcher tearing a meniscus (or any injury) from catching too many pens. I’d say it was more likely the catcher didn’t take his role seriously and didn’t warm up/stretch properly before the pens.
