Reply to "The Importance of Catching"

What I want in a catcher.  1. Are you vocal, can you take control of the defense before and during the ball in play.  2.  Can you call a game.  3. Are you good enough and confident enough to call for the pitcher to bury the curve with men on base.  3. Do you have the respect of the pitching staff and team as a leader.  4. do you communicate with your pitcher between innings.

Defense in baseball for players in the field can start to become lonely and isolating, a good catcher makes sure a defense understands it takes the entire team to keep runs off the board.
