Will someone please explain how the bull pen catchers are used at the different level of baseball. High School, College and the Bigs. In high school it seems to be maybe the backup catcher and anyone else that can get the ball back to the pitcher. What happens in college? Do the freshman and sophmores use bull pen as practice to get behind the plate? In the bigs, these guys don't even seem to be on the team! I've heard the commentators talk about the third base men or an outfielder coming in as a third catcher. How does this all work.
