How to they count a wild pitch against a catcher?

Is it possible for a coach or book keeper to know in HS baseball when a pitcher throws a wild pitch. AKA 5 feet outside or behind a batter where it is physically impossible to block it yet it is almost impossible for a book keeper to see where the ball hit. How do they mark that in the book without the catchers stats getting obliterated by wild pitchers in HS?

Wild pitches do not count against the catcher. If a pitch is too wide, too high, too low (hits dirt in front of the plate) for the catcher to catch with ordinary effort, and a runner advances, then it is a wild pitch and the pitcher is held responsible. Scorekeepers are able to see as well as anyone else.
