Coach May, As the father of a catcher, your post is the most realistic post on actual H.S. pop times that I have seen yet. I also believe that game times and accuracy are key. This fall I watched 2 catchers that consistently threw 2.0 or better pop times and will be playing DI next year. The problem is that they were rarely accurate. I have been told that college coaches would rather recruit the H.S. catcher with a cannon and teach him to throw accurately than the accurate catcher with a slightly weaker pop time.. What do you think is the maximum pop time a catcher can have in order to be considered DI. Is there a magic number or do coaches have different opinions on this issue.?
